Representative Text

1 Jesus the King divine, seeking your soul and mine,
Come from His throne and home of joy above;
Freely His life He gave, sinners from death to save,
Showing to all the world His mighty love.

Refrain:
He is the One to love;
He is the One to trust;
He is the One to walk with all the way; (the way;)
He is the One to serve;
He is the One to praise;
He is the One to follow ev'ry day.

2 Out of the grave He came, making His earthly name
Glorious and eternal by His might;
Conquering death and sin, wandering hearts to win,
Filling the dreary world with wondrous light. [Refrain]

3 All who in Christ believe, pardon for sin receive,
Courage and strength to triumph in the strife;
And, if they trust His love, they shall be His above,
All who thro' grace have gained eternal life. [Refrain]
