Hymn 207

‘Tis to Thee we owe allegiance

Thomas Kelly

Verse 1

‘Tis to Thee we owe allegiance,

God, our Saviour and our King:

May we render true obedience,

Every day our tribute bring;

And with rapture; Of Thy love and glory sing.

Verse 2

May we bow to Thy dominion,

Yielding to Thy righteous sway;

Careless of the world’s opinion,

May we all Thy will obey;

Saviour, lead us; lead us in Thy perfect way.

Verse 3

Thine is greatness never wasting,

High Thou art, with glory crowned;

Thine a kingdom everlasting,

Grace and truth Thy throne surround;

While all others; vanish, and no more are found.

Verse 4

Happy they whom Thou dost govern!

Great their peace, their honour great;

Thee beholding, Thee their sovereign,

Thee enthroned in royal state;

Happy people! Who before Thee ever wait.
