O Christ, what can it mean for us
To claim you as our king?
What royal face have you revealed
Whose praise the church would sing?
Aspiring not to glory's height
To power, wealth, and fame
You walked a different, lowly way
Another's will your aim

You came, the image of our God
To heal and to forgive
To shed your blood for sinners' sake
That we might rise and live
To break the law of death you came
The law of love to bring
A diff'rent rule of righteousness
A diff'rent kind of king

Though some would make their greatness felt
And lord it over all
You said the first must be the last
And service be our call
O Christ, in workplace, church, and home
Let none to power cling
For still, through us, you come to serve
A diff'rent kind of king

You chose a humble human form
And shunned the world's renown
You died for us upon a cross
With thorns your only crown
But still, beyond the span of years
Our glad hosannas ring
For now at God's right hand you reign
A diff'rent kind of king!
