[Yes; another King we own]

Saying...there is another king, one Jesus. —xvii. 7.

Yes; another King we own,
Him the sovereign Lord maintain:
Raised, upheld by Him alone,
Earthly potentates, ye reign:
We by His authority
Cæsar's due to Cæsar give,
Subjected to man's decree,
Subjected to Jesus live.
Clothed with majesty Divine
We the King of kings adore,
All our hearts to Him resign,
Ruled by love's resistless power:
What His kingdom is we know,
Who our Lord's afflictions bear;
Reigning by His cross below
We His heavenly throne shall share.
