Thurlow Weed - O Jesus, we have tried to make you King - текст песни (слова)

1 O Jesus, we have tried to make you King
 and hoped for crowns on earth and thrones above,
 but you resist triumphalistic dreams
 and bring instead a majesty of love.
 2a We wait the day when Christ the King descends
 and all saints rise to greet you with a bow.
 2b You wait the day saints rise to comprehend
 that we may greet and serve you here and now.  
 3 Attend neglected ones, the lost, the least;
 and poor, you say, approach on bending knee.
 In these you find the majesty you seek,
 and all you do for them you do for me.
