Jane Marshall's exquisite choral setting of this text was published and premiered in 1952. Since then it has become a staple of many church choirs around the world. Here's a link to read more about her and the choral piece that made her famous: https://www.umnews.org/en/news/my-eternal-king-launched-top-methodist-composer Its interesting to note that the text predated Jane's choral setting by over a century, and when paired with this charming Irish tune it becomes a powerful hymn of consecration and devotion worthy of continued use today.
Note: if the title and first two words seem too much like swearing to you (as they do to menot going to lie), feel free to alter them to "O Lord...". Edward Caswall won't mind; I promise!
