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.
