<p>The eternal gifts of Christ the King,<br>
|
|
The Apostles’ glorious deeds, we sing;<br>
|
|
And while due hymns of praise we pay,<br>
|
|
Our thankful hearts cast grief away.</p>
|
|
<p>The Church in these her princes boasts,<br>
|
|
These victor chiefs of warriors hosts;<br>
|
|
The soldiers of the heavenly hall,<br>
|
|
The lights that rose on earth for all.</p>
|
|
<p>’Twas thus the yearning faith of saints,<br>
|
|
The unconquered hope that never faints,<br>
|
|
The love of Christ that knows not shame,<br>
|
|
The prince of this world overcame.</p>
|
|
<p>In these the Father’s glory shone;<br>
|
|
In these the will of God the Son;<br>
|
|
In these exults the Holy Ghost;<br>
|
|
Through these rejoice the heavenly host.</p>
|
|
<p>Redeemer, hear us of Thy love,<br>
|
|
That, with this glorious band above,<br>
|
|
Hereafter, of Thine endless grace,<br>
|
|
Thy servants also may have place.</p>
