Author: Jennie Evelyn Hussey (1874-1958) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #117 (1986) First Line: King of my life, I crown thee now 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 to 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.
3 Lead me, like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary.
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.
