OUR KING by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: O SAVIOUR, PRECIOUS SAVIOUR
Last Line: OUR SAVIOUR AND OUR KING!
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

OSAVIOUR, precious Saviour,
Whom yet unseen we love;
O Name of might and favor,
All other names above:
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
To Thee alone we sing;
We praise Thee, and confess Thee
Our holy Lord and King!

O Bringer of salvation,
Who wondrously hast wrought,
Thyself the revelation
Of love beyond our thought:
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
To Thee alone we sing;
We praise Thee, and confess Thee
Our gracious Lord and King!

In Thee all fullness dwelleth,
All grace and power divine;
The glory that excelleth,
O Son of God, is Thine:
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
To Thee alone we sing;
We praise Thee, and confess Thee
Our glorious Lord and King!

Oh grant the consummation
Of this our song above,
In endless adoration,
And everlasting love:
Then shall we praise and bless Thee
Where perfect praises ring,
And evermore confess Thee
Our Saviour and our King!
