Christ triumphant, ever reigning, sung to the magnificent tune, Guiting Power.

1 Christ triumphant, ever reigning,
Saviour, Master, King!
Lord of heaven, our lives sustaining,
hear us as we sing:
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name.

2 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.

3 Suffering servant, scorned, ill-treated,
victim crucified!
death in through the cross defeated,
sinners justified:
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name.

4 Priestly king, enthroned for ever
high in heaven above!
sin and death and hell shall never
stifle hymns of love:
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name.

5 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.

Words: Michael Saward
Tune: Guiting Power, John Barnard
