Praise to Christ, the Lord incarnate,

gift of God by human birth:

he it is who came among us,
F C
shared our life and showed our worth;

ours the turmoil he encountered,

ours the fight he made his own;

now within our hearts his Spirit
F G Am
makes his way of freedom known.

Praise to Christ our Saviour and our King
Dm G
Praise to Christ our King
[Verse 2]
Dm G
Praise to Christ, the Man of sorrows,
Dm F
tasting death for our release:
Dm
his the cup of bitter anguish,
F C
ours the pardon, ours the peace;
F C
his the blood that seals forgiveness,
F Em G
ours the weight of guilt he bore
Em Dm
so by death and resurrection
F G Am
Christ has opened heaven's door.
[Chorus]
F G Am
Praise to Christ our Saviour and our King
Dm G
Praise to Christ our King

Praise to Christ, the Priest eternal:
Dm F
still for us he intercedes;

still he sees our pains and problems
F C
how he understands our needs!
F C
Yesterday, today, forever,
F Em G
always he remains the same:
Em Dm
pledged to bring us to the Father,
F G Am
strong in grace and free from blame
[Chorus]
F G Am
Praise to Christ our Saviour and our King
Dm G
Praise to Christ our King
[Chorus]
F G Am
Praise to Christ our Saviour and our King

Praise to Christ our King
