1 Christ is the King! O friends rejoice;
brothers and sisters, with one voice
make all men know he is your choice.
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
2 O magnify the Lord, and raise
anthems of joy and holy praise
for Christ's brave saints of ancient days.
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
3 They with a faith for ever new
followed the King, and round him drew
thousands of faithful men and true.
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
4 O Christian women, Christian men,
all the world over, seek again
the Way disciples followed then.
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
5 Christ through all ages is the same:
place the same hope in his great name,
with the same faith his word proclaim.
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
6 Let love's unconquerable might
your scattered companies unite
in service to the Lord of light.
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
7 So shall God's will on earth be done,
new lamps be lit, new tasks begun,
and the whole church at last be one.
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
