Sheet music

  1. 1King of my life, I crown Thee now,Thine shall the glory be;Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,Lead me to Calvary.Lest I forget Gethsemane;Lest I forget Thine agony;Lest I forget Thy love for me,Lead me to Calvary.
  2. 2Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,Tenderly mourned and wept;Angels in robes of light arrayedGuarded Thee whilst Thou slept.Lest I forget Gethsemane;Lest I forget Thine agony;Lest I forget Thy love for me,Lead me to Calvary.
  3. 3Let me like Mary, through the gloom,Come with a gift to Thee;Show to me now the empty tomb,Lead me to Calvary.Lest I forget Gethsemane;Lest I forget Thine agony;Lest I forget Thy love for me,Lead me to Calvary.
  4. 4May I be willing, Lord, to bearDaily my cross for Thee;Even Thy cup of grief to share,Thou hast borne all for me.Lest I forget Gethsemane;Lest I forget Thine agony;Lest I forget Thy love for me,Lead me to Calvary.
