Lyrics: This is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Christ is risen from the dead. Death hath no more dominion over Him, death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting! O grave, where is thy victory! The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be unto God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth! King of Kings! And Lord of Lords. And He shall reign for ever and ever. And He shall reign for evermore.
詩歌內容: 詩歌作者Caleb Simper所撰寫的大部份作品,都很適合在教區層面獻唱,因為他所採用的格調都傾向大眾化,教友可與詩班自由同頌。今天,在耶穌基督復活的大日子,詩班唱頌這首《King of Kings!》實在適合不過,因為一方面Caleb Simper所選用的詞均從聖經中精挑細選,從舊約走到新約啟示錄,另一方面,曲調的氣氛則高度配合了基督的得勝、從死裡復活的前因後果,好讓會眾深刻地重新思考復活節的意義。
歌曲首句便是以宣告的形式,引述詩篇118:24「這是耶和華所定的日子,我們在其中要高興歡喜。」繼而論述到主耶穌從死裡復活的章節,羅馬書6:9「因為知道基督既從死裡復活,就不再死,死也不再作他的主了。」在起承轉合的部份,曲調與歌詞高度配合地演繹出聖保羅在哥林多前書15:55-57所論述的「死阿!你得勝的權勢在那裡?死阿!你的毒鉤在那裡?死的毒鉤就是罪!罪的權勢就是律法!感謝神!使我們藉著我們的主耶穌基督得勝!」最後,詩班(與會眾)均一同歡呼:「哈利路亞!因為主我們的神、全能者,作王了!」(啟示錄19:6)
