Christ Is King (Scoville)

Come

friends

sing

Of the faith that’s so dear to me

Revealed thro’ God’s Son

in Ga­li­lee;

He brought peace on earth

And good will to the sons of men

Go tell it to the world

Her king reigns again.

I am so hap­py in Je­sus

Captivity’s cap­tor is He;

Angels re­joice when a soul’s saved

Some day we like Him shall be;

Sorrow and joy have the same Lord

Valley of sha­dows shall sing;

Death has its life

Its door op­ens in Heav­en eter­nal­ly

Christ is king.

Crucified

thus He suf­fered and bled for me

Death and the grave won sin’s vic­to­ry;

Then the sky grew dark

And the tem­ple veil rent in twain

Rocks rent

and an­gels came

For He lived again.

At His feet

on old Ol­iv­et’s hill

they say

Cloud cha­ri­ots halt­ed

took Christ away;

Then the an­gels came

And to won­der­ing dis­ci­ples said

He’ll come

and earth and sea

Shall yield up their dead.
