Christ triumphant, ever reigning
Saviour, Master, King
Lord of heaven, our lives sustaining
Hear us as we sing
Chorus
Yours the glory and the crown,
The high renown, the eternal name

Word incarnate, truth revealing
Son of Man on earth!
Power and majesty concealing
By your humble birth

Yours the glory and the crown,
The high renown, the eternal name

Suffering Servant, scorned, ill-treated
Victim crucified!
Death is through the cross defeated
Sinners justified

The high renown, the eternal name

Priestly King, enthroned forever
High in heaven above!
Sin and death and hell shall never
Stifle hymns of love

The high renown, the eternal name

So, our hearts and voices raising
Through the ages long
Ceaselessly upon You gazing
This shall be our song

Yours the glory and the crown,
The high renown, the eternal name
