Let earthly kings increase their stores,
And boast of honour and renown;
The conquests spread to distant shores,
And govern regions once unknown.
In greater glory Jesus reigns,
And brighter wreaths adorn his brow;
Sinners are made to serve in chains,
And saints before his sceptre bow.
O’er every kingdom his extends,
With ease he rules the wide expanse;
Nor can the world’s remotest ends,
Set bounds to his inheritance.
On a resplendant throne he sits,
Dispensing justice and rewards:
Whilst on his thigh his name is writ,
The King of kings and Lord of lords.
Let heaven and earth their tribute bring,
To him who sits enthroned on high;
Angels and men unite to sing,
His wisdom, power and majesty.
