Feast of Christ the King

Aeterna Imago Altissimi O Thou eternal Image bright Of God most high, thou Light of Light, To Thee, Redeemer, glory be, And might and kingly majesty. Sole hope of all created things, Thou art the Lord and King of kings, Whom God, long ere creation's morn, Had crowned to rule earth yet unborn. Fair flower from the Virgin's breast, Our race's Head for ever blest, The stone that Daniel saw on high, Which, falling, o'er the world doth lie. Priest, Teacher, Giver of the law, Thy Name the rapt Apostle saw Writ on thy vesture and thy thigh: THE KING OF KINGS, THE LORD MOST HIGH. Fain would we own thy blessed sway, Whose rule all creatures must obey; For happy is that state and throne Whose subjects seek thy will alone. All praise, King Jesu, be to thee, The Lord in all majesty; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen. -- From the Anglican Breviary
