Of great thy King did you but have need of
Our love, our service
Our lives obedient from our unwavering hearts.
meek for the present, strong for the coming day,
In your love cut from all fears
an impenetrable shield protecting our souls.
Of great thy King did you but have need of
You are the sun, a perfect disc
In limpid small ponds like our lives.
virtuous rays of light, a composition of pure energy
Never ceasing in full devotion
nourishing our beings to surge skyward
Of great thy King did you but have need of
The reflection of sunbeam in our eyes for others to see
Us uniting in the beauteous image of truth.
empty skies full with your celestial glory
Evolving towards absolute liberty
brimful, wrapping the Earth in golden happiness
Of great thy King did you but have need of
Blood of Jesus filling our veins,
Wearing our beautiful identity our lives girdeth on;
going forth to conquer the ill and lost
Devastating the devil’s dominion over sins
with the victory you have won upon the cross
Of great thy King did you but have need of
Shrinking from our sleeping spirits
Flouting abysmal darkness which steals upon us.
crushed by unstable dreams, coarsely sobbing
Weaknesses dissolved into nothingness
fresh draughts of beauty bright every morning
Of great thy King did you but have need of
Give ear to the symphonies of heaven
The veil of love and righteousness.
perdurable in this friendship
Like thick curtains, viewless to our sight
but ever unchanging, a surrender to your throne
