Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal ‎#155

155. Unto Caesar let us render

1 Unto Caesar let us render
All the thing that Caesar's are,
Custom, fear, and tribute tender,
Both in time of peace and war.

2 Government is by God's order,
Civil rule by His command,
For protection to our border,
Safety, peace, throughout the land.

3 By the will of God appointed,
All must fear the power that be;
Who lays hand on God's anointed,
Sins against His majesty.
