Metaphor in Context
Then wilt Thou in the saints reside,
And make their hearts Thy throne,
And show the world Thy spotless bride,
And claim them for Thine own:
Then the believing world shall sing,
"The Lord His right obtains;
Jesus is universal King,
And God for ever reigns."
And make their hearts Thy throne,
And show the world Thy spotless bride,

"The Lord His right obtains;
Jesus is universal King,
And God for ever reigns."
