Today’s hymn was written by Michael Saward (1932-2015), an Anglican priest and one of the Jubilate Group of writers, a publishing house that promotes the use of quality words and music in worship in churches across the world. Enjoy!
Christ triumphant, ever reigning,
Saviour, Master, King!
Lord of heaven, our lives sustaining,
hear us as we sing:
Refrain
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name.
Word incarnate, truth revealing,
Son of Man on earth!
power and majesty concealing
by your humble birth [Refrain]
Suffering servant, scorned, ill – treated,
victim crucified!
death is through the cross defeated,
sinners justified. [Refrain]
Priestly king, enthroned for ever
high in heaven above!
sin and death and hell shall never
stifle hymns of love. [Refrain]
So, our hearts and voices raising
through the ages long,
ceaselessly upon you gazing,
this shall be our song. [Refrain]
