THE KING OF KINGS, by                    
First Line: The prancing mounts and twinkling wheels
Last Line: He sits upon the throne of hearts!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


The prancing mounts and twinkling wheels
And plumes of great men passed Him by.
He ate the food of common men,
His canopy was but the sky.

He mixed with fishermen and slaves;
He sat with sinners on the road;
He patted little children on the head--
He talked of greatness and of God!

He walked where kings would never walk,
On fishing wharves, in common marts--
His kingdom shadows every king--
He sits upon the throne of hearts!
