lutheranhymnsThis mini-section really is about Christ the King Day. Which, I forget if I've mentioned it, but basically the Pope made it up a little more than a hundred years ago because nationalistic tensions were getting high around World War I and he was like "no, JESUS is the King, hello." And even the Protestants went with it because the alternative was a bunch of death and end-times stuff for the end of the liturgical year. It's good to be Pope.
Slightly low Shannon density with the repetition of "a different kind of king" to close out all the verses--except for the first, where "king" is the rhyming word for the first line. I like renown/crown in the context of "Jesus had neither on Earth."
