[Kings of earth, from Christ alone]
Kings of earth, from Christ alone
Your royal power proceeds:
Taught by Him, with reverence own
Your sceptres are but reeds:
Use them for your heavenly King,
To' advance on earth His reigning power,
All into subjection bring
To Him your hearts adore.

Dare ye spurn the just command
Of your incarnate God?
Soon that reed in Jesus' hand
Shall prove an iron rod:
Him your sovereign Lord confess,
And Jesus shall His servants own,
Wave the sceptre of His grace,
And call you to His throne.
