Tom: C

          Dm                 G
Praise to Christ, the Lord incarnate, 
        Dm           F
gift of God by human birth:
      Dm
he it is who came among us, 
           F                   C
shared our life and showed our worth;
         F            C
ours the turmoil he encountered,
         F        Em       G
ours the fight he made his own; 
Em      Dm
now within our hearts his Spirit 
          F      G       Am
makes his way of freedom known.


[Chorus]
F                    G               Am
Praise to Christ our Saviour and our King
Dm                   G
Praise to Christ our King


[Verse 2]
          Dm                 G
Praise to Christ, the Man of sorrows, 
        Dm              F
tasting death for our release:
        Dm
his the cup of bitter anguish, 
         F                C
ours the pardon, ours the peace;
        F                   C
his the blood that seals forgiveness, 
         F         Em       G
ours the weight of guilt he bore
Em     Dm
so by  death and resurrection
           F      G        Am
Christ has opened heaven's door.


[Chorus]
F                    G               Am
Praise to Christ our Saviour and our King
Dm                   G
Praise to Christ our King


[Verse 3]
          Dm                 G
Praise to Christ, the Priest eternal:
          Dm         F
still for us he intercedes;
         Dm
still he sees our pains and problems
       F               C
how he understands our needs!
      F              C
Yesterday, today, forever, 
       F    Em        G
always he remains the same:
Em         Dm
pledged to bring us to the Father,
          F         G         Am
strong in grace and free from blame


[Chorus]
F                    G               Am
Praise to Christ our Saviour and our King
Dm                   G
Praise to Christ our King


[Chorus]
F                    G               Am
Praise to Christ our Saviour and our King
Dm                   G
Praise to Christ our King
