The poem celebrates Christ as the triumphant Sovereign leading His redeemed in a glorious procession, as depicted in 2 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV): “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” It portrays believers, once captives of sin, now robed in divine splendor, marching under Christ’s royal banner to spread the fragrant gospel of His knowledge across the earth. Rich with regal imagery, it exalts God’s victorious grace, which overcomes death and crowns His people as heirs of His eternal kingdom. The tone radiates profound gratitude and awe, culminating in joyous, unending praise for the King’s redemptive and triumphant reign.

Beneath a canopy of celestial gold,
Where heaven’s anthems in resplendence roll,
Christ leads His triumph, robed in victor’s might,
A King eternal, bathed in holy light.
We, once in chains, now march in royal train,
His captives freed, yet bound by love’s sweet reign.

Thanks be to God, whose throne outshines the stars,
Whose sovereign grace has shattered prison bars.
His scepter sways o’er death’s defeated sting,
And bids our hearts with grateful fervor sing.
Through us, His knowledge spreads, a fragrant breeze,
A regal incense wafting o’er the seas.

In courts of glory, we, His heirs, abide,
Adorned in splendor at our Monarch’s side.
No foe can stand before His radiant face,
His triumph crowns us with unyielding grace.
O Victor-King, our voices soar to Thee,
In endless praise, Thy throne our jubilee!
