397 Jesus, In Your Heart We Find
is actually for the Sacred Heart of Jesus but I’ve already blogged that hymn so …
CWB II gives you hymns for Christ the King as long as all you want is old tunes and traditional hymnody:
398 Christ Is King! O Friends Rejoice
The text and sheet music are at Hymnary. The tune is VULPIUS and the text is by George K. A. Bell.
399 Christ, Our Lord, the Prince of Ages
Godsongs has the original anonymous lyrics, which, while softened for modern tastes in CWB II – no words about heresy these days – are still pretty stodgy . It is set to LAUDA ANIMA.
The CWB II text is:
Christ our Lord, the Prince of ages,
Christ the nations' glorious King,
Whom we praise with exultation,
Saints and angels answering,
To your throne with true devotion,
Hearts and minds and senses bring.
Come, O Lord, and claim your kingdom,
Rebel hearts your grace can gain;
Bend the stubborn will of rulers
Who from homage still refrain:
In the home as in the city
Be supreme, O Christ, and reign.
O our own dear land, Australia,
Let the light of mercy shine,
That, in holy Church united,
All may know the saving sign:
Christ, upon the cross uplifted,
Drawing all with love divine.
