Jesus of Nazareth, Savior and King

Lyrics

1. 1. Jesus of Nazareth,

   Savior and King!

   Triumphant over death,

   Life thou didst bring,

   Leaving thy Father’s throne,

   On earth to live,

   Thy work to do alone,

   Thy life to give.

2. 2. While of this broken bread

   Humbly we eat,

   Our thoughts to thee are led

   In rev’rence sweet.

   Bruised, broken, torn for us

   On Calvary’s hill—

   Thy suff’ring borne for us

   Lives with us still.

3. 3. As to our lips the cup

   Gently we press,

   Our hearts are lifted up;

   Thy name we bless!

   Guide us where’er we go,

   Till in the end

   Life evermore we’ll know

   Through thee, our Friend.
