THE kings of earth are in the hands Of God Who reigns on high; Above their thoughts and acts He stands, And none escape His eye.
Though rulers cruel oppressors prove, To tread the godly down, And law and justice all remove, The Lord retains His crown.
Though filled with arrogance and pride They rule, as gods, the land, From God the Judge they cannot hide, Nor counter His command.
When God at last removes their breath, They’ll cower before His throne; And in that awful hour of death Know Who is God alone!
