Romans 13:4 (Listen)

Hymn: TLH 575, st. 1,5 :
Before the Lord We Bow
1. Before the Lord we bow,
The God who reigns above
And rules the world below
In boundless pow’r and love.
Our thanks we bring,
In joy and praise
Our hearts we raise
To heav’n’s high King.
5. And when in power He comes,
Oh, may our native land
From all its rending tombs
Send forth a glorious band,
A countless throng,
For aye to sing
To heaven’s high King
Salvation’s song!
