Who crowned an orphan, royal queen? (Esther 2)
Who stole a crown from kingly brow? (2 Samuel 15)
What king forsook those who had been
Used to wise monarch’s words to bow? (1 Kings 12)
In what fine gold will yet a queen
Be found arrayed in days to come (Psalm 45)
When Israel’s earthly joys abound,
And under Christ they dwell at home?
Whose king arose from his royal throne,
And clad in sackcloth sat alone? (Jonah 3)
The Capitals when rightly set,
produce the honored name
Of one who wore a “golden crown,”
yet had no kingly reign.
