Entrance Hymn  "Rejoice, the Lord Is King"

Dialog for Christ the King:

A. Behold, the King comes. Alleluia!

C. O come, let us worship and bow down. Alleluia! Alleluia!

A. Rejoice greatly, for Christ is your King.

C. Blessing and honor and glory be unto him.

A. Blessed are you, O Lord, King of the universe; you have delivered us from sin and death.

C. By your blood, you have brought your people into your kingdom.

A. Therefore God has highly exalted him:

C. And bestowed on him the name which is above every name;
