1 Peter 2:17: Honour the king, who God adore
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
Honour the king, who God adore:
The king His place sustains,
As image of His awful power,
As God's vicegerent reigns:
And when the King of kings, and Lord
Of lords from heaven comes down,
He shall your loyal zeal reward
With an immortal crown.
