1) From rags unto riches, from silver to gold
from thistles to diamond of value untold
from the slum to a palace for ever to sing
He takes a beggar and makes him a king.

#Chorus

He lifted the poor from the dust to the throne
He shelters the orphans and call them his own
He healeth the blind and makes the dumb speak
He takes a beggar and makes him a king.

2) From slavery to freedom, from darkness to light
He gave joy for sorrow and peace for a strive
a husband to widows, to sinners a friend
He takes a beggar and makes him a king.

3) He changes our dwellings, for a mansion so bright
he changes our clothing, for a garment of light
from dust to the throne we. with Jesus now reign
He takes a beggar and makes him a king.
