Jesus is my King all-glorious

Jesus is my King all-glorious

so wide

so deep His love;

From His throne He came

a seeking shepherd He

Humbly placed in borrowed manger

to Egypt then escaped

Later called the Nazarene from Galilee.

For thirty-three years serving

despised

refused by men

Preaching everywhere God’s kingdom not to miss

Healing

teaching

suffering hunger

no bed His aches to cheer

So immense

so wonderful a love is this.

He

my King

my Lord

my Savior

my welling Fount of love

Walked the lonely path to dark Gethsemane.

Sweat like blood-drops for my peril

obeyed His Father’s will

Paid the price to save all men eternally.

Despised

man’s insult’s taking

the sinner’s blame endured

Bore the cross unto Golgotha willingly

Scarred by nails and scarred by spear

whence blood and water streamed

So immense His love expressed to full degree.

Jesus is my King of mercy

with love immeasurable;

On the cross He prayed

and mercy’s heart was shown.

There a dying thief repented

received salvation’s word;

Jesus bore all sins

rejected

left alone.

What piercing pain and sorrow

with vinegar and gall

Unto God He did depart victorious

Resurrected and ascended

our interceding Christ

He reveals His love so deep and wonderous.

Jesus is my King victorious; His love my heart has touched.

For this sinner He has died

His love to show.

I am healed and cleansed completely

and in His mercies rest

Taught by Him and guided

on His path I go.

Temptations fierce unheeding

salvation is my wall;

I’m empowered daily as I go along.

With eyes on Him in glory

I sing with heart renewed

And His love is all the message of my song.
