Lord, come quickly, reign in me
And no other king but Thee
Make my heart Thy rightful throne
Come and claim me for Thine own.
Something always rises up
In my heart to cast Thee off
Lord, forgive and reign in me
I've no other King than Thee

Anger, envy, pride, and lust
Greed, contempt, discord, and sloth
All these and a hundred more
Fight to be my king, O Lord
Yet I cry against each vice
"I've no other King than Christ!"
Lord, forgive and reign in me
I've no other King than Thee
