Jesus, Our Lord and King

Representative Text

1 Jesus, our Lord and King,

2 Now justified by grace
And made alive to God,
Formed for Yourself to show Your praise,
We sound Your love abroad.

3 As dead indeed to sin,
We rise to walk anew,
Henceforth, as not our own, but Yours,
We follow only You.

4 Baptized into Your death,
With You again we rise,
To newness of a life of faith,
To new and endless joys.
