Christ Is King
}
Come, friends sing, of the faith that's so dear
to me,
Revealed thro' God's Son, in Galilee;
He brought peace on earth and good will to the so
ns of men,
Go tell it to the world, her King reigns again.
Crucified, thus He suffered and bled for me,
Death and the grave won sin's victory;
Then the sky grew dark and the temple veil rent i
n twain,
Rocks rent, and angels came, for He lived again.
At His feet, on old Olivet's Hill they say,
Cloud chariots halted, took Christ away;
Then the angels came and to wond'ring disciples s
aid
He'll come, and earth and sea shall yield up thei
r dead.
Chorus I am so happy in Jesus, Captivity's Captor
is He;
Angels rejoice when a soul's saved,
Some day we like Him shall be,
Sorrow and joy have the same Lord,
Valley of shadows shall sing;
Death has its life, its door opens in heaven eter
nally,
Christ is King
