Hymn 165: King of my life, I crown Thee now,

Verse 1

King of my life, I crown Thee now,

Thine shall the glory be;

Lest I forget Thy thorn-crown’d[brow,

Lead me to Calvary.

 

 

Lest I forget Gethsesame,

Lest I forget Thine agony,

Lest I forget Thy love for me,

Lead me to Calvary.

 

Verse 2 

Show me the tomb where Thou was laid.

Tenderly mourn’d and wept:

Angels in robes of light arrayed,

Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept

 

Verse 3

Let me, like Mary, through the gloom 

Come with a gift to Thee:

Show to me now the empty tomb,

Lead me to Calvary.

 

Verse 4

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.

 

Verse 5

Fill me, O Lord, with Thy desire 

For all who know not Thee:

Then touch my lips with holy fire.

To speak of Calvary.
