1 Chronicles 29:20: Whoe'er the King of kings adore

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

Religion

Whoe'er the King of kings adore.
Must reverence His vicegerent here.
Not earth and hell with all their power
Can separate loyalty and fear:
And hence the man set up by Thee,
Great God, Thy faithful people own.
In him Thy royal image see.
And bow before the British throne.
