So once did I, before I knew my Savior! 4 And oh, that he fulfilled may see the travail of his soul in me, and with his work contented be, as I with my dear Savior! 5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring my strength, my solace from this spring; that he who lives to be my King once died to be my Savior.

Crown him as your sovereign in temptation's hour, let his will enfold you in its mighty power. 4 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again with the Father's glory, when he comes to reign. For all earthly powers soon to him must bow, so let us confess him King of glory now. Topics: Adoration Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON
