[The word Thy sacred lips has pass'd]
I have sworn by Myself, That unto Me, &c.
—xlv. 23–25.
The word Thy sacred lips has pass'd,
The sure irrevocable word,
That every soul shall bow at last,
And swear allegiance to its Lord,
The kingdoms of the earth shall be
For ever subjected to Thee.
The sure irrevocable word,
That every soul shall bow at last,
And swear allegiance to its Lord,
The kingdoms of the earth shall be
For ever subjected to Thee.
Even now whoe'er in Thee believes
Thy righteousness and strength obtains,
Thy kingdom in his heart receives,
And conqueror of the world he reigns,
Sees all Thy foes with shame submit,
And Satan bruised beneath his feet.
Thy righteousness and strength obtains,
Thy kingdom in his heart receives,
And conqueror of the world he reigns,
Sees all Thy foes with shame submit,
And Satan bruised beneath his feet.
Surely in Christ by faith reveal'd
Forgiveness and full power have I,
Thy people know their pardon seal'd,
Even all who on Thy death rely;
We glory in the Prince of Peace,
We praise the Lord our righteousness.
