Cecil, oh Cecil,
Jungle's king
Strong and mighty
O'er everything
Leader supreme
O'er all your pride
"How beautiful, majestic!"
The people cried.
Cecil, oh Cecil,
Out in the sun,
A hunter came
With his hunting gun.
One shot or two,
And down he fell.
Undignified death,
Pain! Who can tell?
Jesus, oh Jesus,
Universe's King.
Ruler Supreme
Over everything.
Creator, Sustainer
Of all Creation,
Redeemer and Saviour,
In every nation.
Jesus, oh Jesus
God's only Son
Died on the cross
All His work done
Not one sin nor two
But ALL He atoned.
Now in the heavens
The Lord is enthroned
So come to the Lion,
The Ruler of all.
Not Cecil, but Jesus,
Your name, does He call
