JESUS, THOU ART THE KIND, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Jesus, thou art our king
Last Line: Conqu'ring and to conquer go.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus, Thou art our King!
To me Thy succor bring;
Christ the mighty one art Thou;
Help for all on Thee is laid:
This the world; I claim it now;
Send me now the promised aid.

High on the Father's throne,
O look with pity down!
Help, O help, attend my call;
Captive lead captivity:
King of glory, Lord of all,
Christ, be Lord, be King to me!

I now would feel Thy sway,
And only Thee obey;
Thee my spirit pants to meet:
This my one, my ceaseless prayer--
Make, O make my heart Thy seat;
O set up Thy kingdom there!

Triumph and reign in me,
And spread Thy victory;
Hell, and death, and sin control;
Pride, and wrath, and every foe,
All subdue; through all my soul,
Conqu'ring and to conquer go.
