Conquering kings their titles take by John Henry Maunder — Lyrics
Conquering kings their titles take
From the foes they captive make;
Jesus, by a nobler deed,
From the thousands he hath freed.
Yes: none other name is given
Unto mortals under heaven,
Which can make the dead arise,
And exalt them to the skies.
That which Christ so hardly wrought,
That which he so dearly bought,
That salvation, mortals, say,
Shall we madly cast away?

About Conquering kings their titles take
John Henry Maunder's setting of Conquering kings their titles take is a sacred anthem for SATB choir. The text, in English, draws a contrast between earthly conquest and the spiritual victory achieved through Christ. It emphasizes that salvation is offered freely, a gift that should not be rejected. The lyrics speak of bearing the cross and enduring hardship for Christ's name, ultimately finding victory in death through faith. The anthem concludes by glorifying Jesus as the sinner's friend and invoking praise to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
