The Presbyterian Hymnal ‎#153

153. He Is King of Kings

Refrain:
(He is) King of kings,
He is Lord of lords,
Jesus Christ, the first and last,
No one works like Him.

1 He built His throne up in the air,
No one works like Him,
And called His saints from everywhere,
No one works like Him. O He is... (Refrain)

2 He pitched His tents on Canaan ground,
No one works like Him,
And broke oppressive kingdoms down,
No one works like Him. O He is...(Refrain)

3 I know that my Redeemer lives,
No one works like Him,
And by His love sweet blessing gives,
No one works like Him. O He is... (Refrain)
