Lyrics
Verse 1: 1. “For Christ and the church” let our voices ring, Let us honor the name of our own blessed King; Let us work with a will in the strength of youth, And loyally stand for the kingdom of truth. 2. “For Christ and the church” be our earnest prayer, Let us follow His banner, the cross daily bear; Let us yield, wholly yield, to the gospel’s pow’r, And serve faithfully ev’ry day ev’ry hour. For Christ, our dear Redeemer, For 3. “For Christ and the church” let us cast aside, By His conquering grace, chains of self, fear, and pride; May our lives be enriched by an aim so grand; Then happy the call to the Savior’s right hand. For Christ For Christ Christ, the crucified; For the church For Christ, For the His blood hath purchased; The church, His holy bride. church 1. Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Savior’s brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o’erflow. 2. No mortal can with Him compare Among the sons of men; Fairer is He than all the fair Who fill the heav’nly train. 3. He saw me plunged in deep distress, And flew to my relief; For me He bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. 4. To Him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave. 5. Since from Thy bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord they should all be Thine. Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Savior’s brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o’erflow.
Verse 2: No mortal can with Him compare Among the sons of men; Fairer is He than all the fair Who fill the heav’nly train.
Verse 3: He saw me plunged in deep distress, And flew to my relief; For me He bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief.
Verse 4: To Him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave.
