Kristus Karalis (To Jesus Christ our sovereign King) by Anonymous — Lyrics
1. Tu, Jēzus Kristus, Pestītājs, kam pieder visa slava.
Tu Glābējs mūsu dvēselēm, Tev pestīšanas vara.
Kristus lai vada, Kristus lai valda, Kristum lai vienam ir uzvara!
2. Lai nāk mums Tava valstība pār visām zemēm, tautām.
Un dod mums savu svētību, kad Tavu vārdu saucam.

It speaks of unwavering loyalty to Christ as the sole ruler, deserving of all praise. The anonymous composer has crafted a sacred chant suitable for SATB choir, offering a profound musical setting for these evocative lyrics. Its message resonates with themes of ultimate authority, salvation, and the establishment of divine rule, making it a compelling choice for liturgical or concert settings.
