Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

O Christ, the heavens' eternal King 
O Christ, the heavens’ eternal King, Creator, unto Thee we sing, With God the Father ever One, Co-equal, co-eternal Son. 
Thy hand, when the first the world began, Made in Thine own pure image man, And linked to fleshly form of earth A living soul of heavenly birth. 
And when the envious crafty foe Had marred Thy noblest work below, Thou didst our ruined state repair By deigning flesh Thyself to wear. 
Once of a virgin born to save, And now new born from death’s dark grave, O Christ, Thou bidd’st us rise with Thee From death to immortality. 
Eternal Shepherd, Thou art wont To cleanse Thy sheep within the font, That mystic bath, that grave of sin, Where ransomed souls new life begin. 
Divine Redeemer, Thou didst deign To bear for us the cross of pain, And freely pay the precious price Of all Thy blood in sacrifice. 
Jesu, do Thou to every heart Unceasing Paschal joy impart; From death of sin and guilty strife Set free the new born sons of life. 
All praise be Thine, O risen Lord, From death to endless life restored; All praise to God the Father be And Holy Ghost eternally.
