[Great Heir of David's throne]

Upon the throne of David, &c. —ix. 7.

Great Heir of David's throne,
Thy royal power assume,

383

To reign in faithful hearts alone,
Thou with Thy Father come;
Set up Thy throne of grace
In all the heathen's sight,
Thy kingdom of true holiness,
And order it aright.
Now for Thy promise sake,
O'er earth exalted be,
The kingdom, power, and glory take,
Which all belong to Thee;
In zeal for God and man
Thy full salvation bring,
The universal Monarch reign,
The saints' eternal King.
