PSALM 45. (C. M.) The Personal Glories and Government of Christ.
I
I'll speak the honours of my king,His form divinely fair;
None of the sons of mortal race
May with the Lord compare.
II
Sweet is thy speech, and heavenly graceUpon thy lips is shed;
Thy God, with blessings infinite,
Hath crown'd thy sacred head.
III
Gird on thy sword, victorious Prince,Ride with majestic sway;
Thy terrors shall strike through thy foes,
And make the world obey.
VI
Thy throne, O God, for ever stands;Thy word of grace shall prove
A peaceful sceptre in thy hands,
To rule the saints by love.
V
Justice and truth attend thee still,But mercy is thy choice;
And God, thy God, thy soul shall fill
With most peculiar joys.
