Conquering Kings Their Titles Take

lyricist: Paris Breviary, 1736
Composer: Parish Choir, 1850

Conquering kings their ti­tles take

From the lands they cap­tive make;

Jesus

Thine was giv­en Thee

For a world Thou mad­est free.

Not ano­ther name is giv­en

Power pos­sess­ing un­der Heav­en

Strong to call dead souls to rise

And ex­alt them to the skies.

That which Christ so hard­ly wrought

That which He so dear­ly bought

That sal­va­tion

mor­tals say

Will ye mad­ly cast away?

Rather glad­ly for that name

Bear the cross

en­dure the shame;

Joyfully for Him to die

Is not death but vic­to­ry.

Jesus

if Thou con­des­cend

To be called the sin­ner’s friend

Ours the joy and glo­ry be

Thus to make our boast of Thee.

Glory to the Fa­ther be

Glory

vir­gin born

to Thee

Glory to the Ho­ly Ghost

Ever from the heav­en­ly host.
