To Jesus Christ our sovereign King

To Jesus Christ, our Sovereign King,
who is the world's salvation,
All praise and homage do we bring,
and thanks and adoration

Christ Jesus, Victor! Christ Jesus, Ruler! Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer.

Your reign extend, O King benign,
to every land and nation;
For in your kingdom Lord divine
Alone we find salvation

Christ Jesus, Victor! Christ Jesus, Ruler! Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer.

To you and to your Church, great King,
We pledge our heart's oblation;
Until before your throne we sing
In endless jubilation

Christ Jesus, Victor! Christ Jesus, Ruler! Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer.

--Msgr. Martin Hellriegal, 1941
In honor of today's feast, Christ the King (in Roman Catholic churches)
