To the name that brings salvation
Let
the nations bow the head;
Let
them kneel in adoration
When
this name of names is said;
Let
them pray for restoration
Of
all things in Christ the head.
2
He
through every generation
Rules
in endless majesty;
May
the kings of every nation
Now
foreswear their enmity,
And
with humble veneration
In
the love of God agree.
3
Lord,
we pray for upright rulers:
Guard
them surely in their need
From
the vanity of power
And
the emptiness of greed;
Let
them see the truth of lowness,
And
on justice let them feed.
