[Thou Man of affliction and love]

I chose out their way, and sat chief, &c. —xxix. 25.

Thou Man of affliction and love,
All power and dominion is Thine:
Thy throne is establish'd above,
Thy throne upon earth is Divine:
Thy word with authority give,
Prescribe to Thy people their way:
Thy law we attend to receive,
And cheerfully bow to Thy sway.
Thy sway among men to maintain,
Compassion and righteousness meet;
Thy reign is a peaceable reign,
Thy seat is a merciful seat!
Great King in an army of saints,
The Friend of affliction Thou art,
The life of a sinner that faints,
The joy of my comforted heart.
