O Where Are Kings and Empires Now

Author: Bishop A. C. Cox Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 309 hymnals Topics: Choral Section Church of Christ Lyrics: 1. O where are kings and empires now Of old that went and came? But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. 2. We mark her goodly battlements, And her foundations strong; We hear within the solemn voice Of her unending song. 3. For not like kingdoms of the world Thy holy Church, O God; Tho' earthquake shocks are threat'ning her, And tempests are abroad. 4. Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands. Used With Tune: DUNDEE
