7s.
by R.C. Chapman
1
King of glory, set on high,
 
Girt with strength and majesty,
 
We Thy holy name confess;
 
Thee with adoration bless.
2
Jesus, mighty Son of God!
 
Wondrous gift on man bestowed;
 
Many crowns are on Thy head,
 
Glorious Firstborn from the dead.
“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.” (Revelation 19:12)
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:18)
3
Gladly, Lord, we bow the knee,
 
By the Father’s just decree,
 
To His own anointed One;
 
To His well-belovèd Son.
“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 3:14)
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.” (Philippians 2:10)
“For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” (Romans 14:11)
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” (Acts 10:38)
“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
