Hail Redeemer, King divine in Laurel's Prosebox journal book

Hail Redeemer King Divine
by Patrick Brennan

Hail Redeemer, King divine!
Priest and Lamb, the throne is thine;
King, whose reign shall never cease,
Prince of everlasting peace.

Refrain
Angels, saints and nations sing:
“Praise be Jesus Christ our King;
Lord of life, earth, sky and sea,
King of love on Calvary!”

King most holy, King of truth,
Guard the lowly, guide the youth;
Christ the King of glory bright,
Be to us eternal light.

Shepherd-king, o’er mountains steep
Homeward bring the wandering sheep;
Shelter in one royal fold
States and kingdoms, new and old.

Crimson streams, O King of grace,
Drenched thy thorn-crowned head and face;
Floods of love’s redeeming tide
Tore thy hands, thy feet, and side.

King, whose name creation thrills,
Rule our hearts, our minds, our wills;
Till in peace, each nation rings
With thy praises, King of kings.

Sing with joy in ev’ry home :
“Christ our King, thy kingdom come!
To the King of ages, then,
Honour, glory, love : Amen!”.
