King of my life, I crown Thee now

lyricist: Jennie Evelyn Hussey
Composer: William James Kirkpatrick

King of my life

I crown Thee now

Thine shall the glory be;

Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow

Lead me to Calvary.

Lest I forget Gethsemane;

Lest I forget Thine agony;

Lest I forget Thy love for me

Lead me to Calvary.

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid

Tenderly mourned and wept;

Angels in robes of light arrayed

Guarded Thee while Thou slept.

Let me like Mary

through the gloom

Come with a gift to Thee;

Show to me now the empty tomb

Lead me to Calvary.

May I be willing

Lord

to bear

Daily my cross for Thee;

Even Thy cup of grief to share

Thou hast borne all for me.

Fill me

O Lord

with Thy desire

For all that know not Thee;

Then touch my lips with holy fire

To speak of Calvary.
