Christ Crowned

Tune: Sine Nomine

('For all the saints')

1 Timothy 6 v.15-16

**********

Continue on in the faith, Paul did say

To young Timothy, e'en go on each day

Following Christ, He the Life, Truth, and Way

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Continue on until the appearing

Of Him, our Lord Jesus Christ, worship bring

To Him, He shall show, He the Lord, the King

Alleluia, Alleluia!

He is the blessed and only Potentate

All-powerful One, His return not late

Though our waiting, it may seem long to date*

Alleluia, Alleluia!

He the King of kings, He the Lord of lords

Ever reigning, he has of life the words

His praise and glory, let the sounds be heard

Alleluia, Alleluia!

He alone, He has immortality

Dwells in the light which no man can, so be

None can approach unto [in] state humanly

Alleluia, Alleluia!

No man has seen God, neither can man see

Christ in full light, honour unto Him be

And power be to Him e'erlastingly

Alleluia, Alleluia!
