5 All power unto thee is given As Mediator, so That all on Earth and Heaven must Yield all obedience to.
6 Thou hast thy Laws, and 'tis by them We must be ruled alway; And such who will not own thee King, Thou wilt destroy one day.
6 Thou hast thy Laws, and 'tis by them We must be rul'd alway; And such who will not own thee King, Thou wilt destroy one day.
7 Adore, and see ye reverence him, All ye who live on Earth; Obey his Laws, Saints sing his Praise, And set his Glory forth.
The second Part. 1 He's King of Saints and Nations too, He in our hearts must reign; ⟨p. 63⟩And sway the Sceptre there alone, All Rebels must be slain. 2 The tyrant sin you must give up To his victorious sword; Least countenance to any lust, None of us must afford. 3 But he a larger Kingdom hath; For he shall soon possess All Kingdoms which are through' the Earth, With peace he will them bless. 4 This power to himself he'll take In spite of Earth and Hell; And haughty Monarchs he will shake, And tyranny expel. 5 Thou, like a King, dost honour give, Yea, titles which are high; For every Subject's made by thee A Prince in dignity. 6 A Kingdom too thou hast in store For every one of them; And they shall reign for evermore, O'er such who did contemn 7 These faithful Servants who to thee Sincerely did adhere; And they, when thou O Lord dost come, Shall Crowns of Glory wear.
