Our King
Words: AnonMusic: Chas. H. Gabriel
1Our pre-cious Lord and Sav-ior, Our King in heav-en a-bove; We bring our praise be-fore You, We come to You in love.
We love to sing His prais-es, And ban-ish sin-cing wid; Of Him who reigns eter-nal-ly in Gal-i-lee of old.
RefrainWe sing, we sing, The praise of our King, We sing, we sing, The glo-ry of our King.
2We love to trust His prom-is-es, And ban-ish sin-cing wid; We love to know that He is here
O Sav-ior, bless-ed Sav-ior, We need learn here to say, All those down with pray-er and praise, a-mong the saints in heav-en a-bove.
