Hail Christ the King

Hail!
Prince of Peace
Prince of the stable
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
Worshipped by kings in rich attire,
Bearing costly gifts.
Prince born to redeem
King of Kings

Hail!
Nazarene
Scoffed son, of a simple carpenter
Thy foster father,
Jeered, taunted by the mob
Scourged, whipped and crucified
Yet rising in glory
Redeemer, King and God

Hail!
Christ our King
The King of the purple cloak
The crown of thorns
The seamless robe
We hail thee!
Redeemer of mankind
Saviour King of the world
