He Is King of Kings

He Is King of Kings

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

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

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 King of kings,
Lord of lords,
Jesus Christ, the first and last,
No one works like Him.

I know that my Redeemer loves,
No one works like Him.
And by His love sweet blessing gives,
No one works like Him.
O He is King of kings,
He is Lord of lords,
Jesus Christ, the first and last,
No one works like Him.
