(Rev. 19:11-1611And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His 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. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:11‑16); 1 Tim. 6:13-1513I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; (1 Timothy 6:13‑15); Esther 6:7-117And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor, 8Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head: 9And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor. 10Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken. 11Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor. (Esther 6:7‑11))
Bring forth the royal vestments
The King doth use to wear,
For Him His soul delights to own
Of heaven and earth the heir;
And fairer than the comeliest
Of all the sons of men,
For meekness and for righteousness,
He’ll ride in triumph then.
The King of kings and Lord of lords
Proclaims His glorious worth,
Sending Him forth in victory,
To rule His ransomed earth;
A name He hath of hidden depth,
That none can know but He,
A token of the Father’s love,
That name of secrecy.
Hear ye the proclamation
That rings upon the air
“The King of kings and Lord of lords,”
It blazons everywhere;
For thus shall it be done to Him
The King delights to own
With honor and with majesty,
Crowned with His royal crown.
The glory of the risen Man
The universe doth fill,
For He alone, the Lord from heaven
Has done the Father’s will;
Anointed high above the rest,
With gladness and with joy,
The praises of ten thousand tongues
His beauty shall employ.
Pale not, ye kingdom glories!
Until the blissful day,
When all into subjection brought,
Beneath Messiah’s sway,
The glories of the subject Son
The bride of Christ shall tell,
And God with man upon the earth
For evermore shall dwell.
