5. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure. Such righteousness wins the cheerful homage of the poor and the godly,
and strikes dismay into the souls of unrighteous oppressors, so that all
through the lands both good and bad are filled with awe. Where Jesus reigns in
power, people must render obeisance of some sort. His kingdom, moreover, is no
house of cards, or dynasty of days; it is as lasting as the lights of heaven. Throughout all generations shall the throne of the Redeemer stand. Humanity shall not
wear out the religion of the Incarnate God. No infidelity will wither it away,
nor superstition smother it; it will rise immortal from what seemed its grave.
As long are there are people on earth Christ will have a throne among them.
Since he ascended to his throne, his dominion has not been overturned, though
the mightiest of empires have gone like visions of the night.
