THE CoVENANTERs' HYMN.
music for it composed, by DR.. Kerr, was
for the first time sung in public. 1t was
written for the Society of the Cove
nanters:
The King of Kings is Christ the Lord;
Let all the earth His praise proclaim
While saints and angels tune their harpS
And sing hosannas to His name.
The King of Kings is Christ the Lord;
His banners float in every land,
His soldiers. We rejoice to march,
Obedient to His great command.
The King of Kings is Christ the Lord;
We fear not any pain or loss;
On land and sea. ~ home, abroad
We love to bear His Holy Cross.
The King of Kings is Christ the Lord;
no truce be given. nor battle cease,
iii every nation own Him God
And bow before the Prince of Peace.
Amen, Amen.
