PSALM CX.
The Lord unto my Lord declar'd,
At my right hand I have prepar'd
Thine everlasting seat;
The subject universe is ours,
Kingdoms, dominions, thrones and pow'rs
All plac'd beneath thy feet.
At my right hand I have prepar'd
Thine everlasting seat;
The subject universe is ours,
Kingdoms, dominions, thrones and pow'rs
All plac'd beneath thy feet.
The wand of thy pacific reign,
Behold, I give thee to sustain
From Zion's hallow'd shrine;
Be thou the Saviour of the soul,
And all thine enemies controul
By clemency divine.
Behold, I give thee to sustain
From Zion's hallow'd shrine;
Be thou the Saviour of the soul,
And all thine enemies controul
By clemency divine.
The day thou art install'd the king,
From far shall pious easterns bring
Their off'rings of perfume;
The benediction on thy birth
Is as the dew-drops fresh on earth
From morning's pregnant womb.
From far shall pious easterns bring
Their off'rings of perfume;
The benediction on thy birth
Is as the dew-drops fresh on earth
From morning's pregnant womb.
113
He sware, nor shall the Lord repent,
For ever on the man I sent
My priesthood I transferr'd;
I know thee without blame or speck,
Thy order is Melchisedeck,
E'en God, th'incarnate Word.
For ever on the man I sent
My priesthood I transferr'd;
I know thee without blame or speck,
Thy order is Melchisedeck,
E'en God, th'incarnate Word.
The Lord of hosts upon thy right
Shall kings in indignation smite
With many a grievous wound;
But in thy stripes they shall be heal'd,
And all vindictive laws repeal'd,
When CHARITY is crown'd.
Shall kings in indignation smite
With many a grievous wound;
But in thy stripes they shall be heal'd,
And all vindictive laws repeal'd,
When CHARITY is crown'd.
His judgment shall be to forgive,
And by his pow'r the dead shall live,
And issue from their grave;
The heads of all the various realms,
Whom vice enormous overwhelms,
His precious blood shall save.
And by his pow'r the dead shall live,
And issue from their grave;
The heads of all the various realms,
Whom vice enormous overwhelms,
His precious blood shall save.
Where the breeze sigh'd and Cedron purl'd,
There drank the Saviour of the world,
Without an home or friend;
For which his name above all names
Is glorious, and his meekness claims
All honour without end.
There drank the Saviour of the world,
Without an home or friend;
For which his name above all names
Is glorious, and his meekness claims
All honour without end.
