The sonnet declares Jesus Christ as the sole head of the Church, emphasizing His supreme authority and rejecting any human claim to that role. It cites scriptural support from Ephesians and Colossians, portraying Christ as the eternal guide and Lord of the Church, His “bride.” The poem underscores that only Christ’s divine power and Spirit lead the faithful, with His Word as their light, culminating in praise for His everlasting, pure leadership.

O Christ, the King, the Head of Church alone,
Thy sovereign grace commands the faithful throng.
No mortal crown can claim Thy sacred throne,
For Thou art Lord, to Thee all hearts belong.
In scripture’s truth, Thy role is brightly shown,
Ephesians calls Thee Head, the Body’s guide.
Colossians hails Thy name, no rival known,
The Church Thy bride, with Thee forever tied.
No human hand can wield Thy holy might,
No earthly voice Thy perfect will decree.
Thy Spirit leads through darkness into light,
Thy Word the lamp that sets the captive free.
All praise to Thee, our Savior, ever near,
The Church’s Head, eternal, pure, and clear.
