ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME

Perronet, Rippon, Holden

1. All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!

2. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail Him who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all!
Hail Him who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all!

3. Let every kindred, ev’ry tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all!
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all!

4. O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown Him Lord of all!
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown Him Lord of all!

LET YOUR KINGDOM REIGN

Ken Yasinski and Dan Yasinski

Let Your Kingdom reign
Thru Your sovereign name
Let Your gates swing wide
Let Your glory shine

Set my heart aflame, let Your Kingdom reign

Lord I run to You, Lord I bow before You
Let Your Kingdom reign
Lord I thirst for You, Lord I long for You
Let Your Kingdom reign

Lord come refine
Burn this chaff of mine
Send victory
Lift this veil from me.

Come reign in me, come reign in me, come
Let Your Kingdom reign
Rain down on me, rain down me, reign
Let Your Kingdom reign

GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE

Mrs. F.W. Suffield

God You’re still on the throne
And You will remember Your own.
Though trials may press us and burdens distress us
You never will leave us alone

God, You’re still on the throne
You never forsake Your own
Your promise is true, He will not forget you
God, You’re still on the throne.

You cloud that sail in heav’n along

Make music for Your Lord to hear
Alleluia Alleluia!
O fire so masterful and bright
Providing us with warmth and light

All you who pain and sorrow bear
Praise God, and on Him cast your care

THE LORD REIGNETH

Author unknown

The Lord reigneth, the Lord reigneth
Blessed be the name of our God!
The Lord reigneth, the Lord reigneth
Blessed be the name of our God!
Let the earth be glad,
Let the heavens rejoice
Let them say unto the nations.
The Lord reigneth, the Lord reigneth
Blessed be the name of our God!

CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS

Matthew Bridges, George J. Elvey

1. Crown Him with many crowns
The Lamb upon His throne
Hark how the heavnly anthem drowns
All music but His own
Awake my soul and sing, of Him Who died for thee
And hail Him as thy matchless King thru all eternity

2. Crown Him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o’er the grave
Who rose victorious in the strife for those He came to save
His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high
Who died, eternal life to bring and lives that death may die

3. Crown Him the Lord of Lords
Who over all doth reign
Who once on earth the incarnate Word
For ransomed sinners slain
Now lives in realms of light
Where saints and angels sing
Their songs before Him day night,
Their God, Redeemer King

***************SHOW NOTES***************

What are the circumstances that caused the Solemnity of Christ the King to be announced as an official Day in the Catholic Church?
Can God bless us even in the midst of our hardships?
Is calling Christ King a metaphor, or a tangible reality?
What are the three ways that Jesus is King in our lives?
Why should you make Christ King in your own life?
Is this a one-time commitment, or a daily commtiment?

Deep gratitude to uber-talented songwriter Ken
Yasinski for use of his song “Let Your Kingdom Reign”, off of
Roadside Cry’s “Take My Life” CD. Contact Ken directly to see how
you can obtain the original recording.

Shout out to new media consultant Greg Willits. He’s
coming out with a new book and has a new site, The New Evangelizers.

Quas Primas(“in the first”) is the encyclical of Pope Pius XI, which declared The Feast of
Christ the King. Much of my comments were spurred on by the reading of this
document. You can (and should) read it on the Vatican
website, and also on PapalEncyclicals.net.
