Author: Jennie Evelyn Hussey Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #317 (1982) Hymnal Title: Yes, Lord! First Line: King of my life I crown thee now Refrain First Line: Lest I forget Gethsemane Lyrics: 1 King of my life I crown Thee now-
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
Refrain:
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony,
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
2 Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept. [Refrain]
3 Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb-
Lead me to Calvary. [Refrain]
4 May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share-
Thou hast borne all for me. [Refrain]
Amen. Topics: Commitment and Submission Languages: English Tune Title: [King of my life I crown thee now]
