HYMN 27.
[Thou art a King in Dignity]
Rev. 7. 14. He is King of Kings, &c.
[The First Part.]
Thou art a King in Dignity,
And of most noble birth,
Descended from the Lord most high,
The God of Heaven and Earth.
And of most noble birth,
Descended from the Lord most high,
The God of Heaven and Earth.
62
And thou also proclaimed art
By Men and Angels too,
To be the only Potentate
Before whom all must bow.
By Men and Angels too,
To be the only Potentate
Before whom all must bow.
God's Spirit did thee King anoint,
To reign for evermore;
And to this office thee appoint,
When out God did it pour
To reign for evermore;
And to this office thee appoint,
When out God did it pour
Abundantly, to such degree
That none before thee had;
And like a King with Sovereignty,
Lord Jesus thou art clad.
That none before thee had;
And like a King with Sovereignty,
Lord Jesus thou art clad.
All power unto thee is given
As Mediator, so
That all on Earth and Heaven must
Yield all obedience to.
As Mediator, so
That all on Earth and Heaven must
Yield all obedience to.
Thou hast thy Laws, and 'tis by them
We must be rul'd alway;
And such who will not own thee King,
Thou wilt destroy one day.
We must be rul'd alway;
And such who will not own thee King,
Thou wilt destroy one day.
Adore, and see ye reverence him,
All ye who live on Earth;
Obey his Laws, Saints sing his Praise,
And set his Glory forth.
All ye who live on Earth;
Obey his Laws, Saints sing his Praise,
And set his Glory forth.
The second Part.
He's King of Saints and Nations too,
He in our hearts must reign;
And sway the Sceptre there alone,
All Rebels must be slain.
He in our hearts must reign;
63
All Rebels must be slain.
The tyrant sin you must give up
To his victorious sword;
Least countenance to any lust,
None of us must afford.
To his victorious sword;
Least countenance to any lust,
None of us must afford.
But he a larger Kingdom hath;
For he shall soon possess
All Kingdoms which are thro' the Earth,
With peace he will them bless.
For he shall soon possess
All Kingdoms which are thro' the Earth,
With peace he will them bless.
This power to himself he'll take
In spite of Earth and Hell;
And haughty Monarchs he will shake,
And tyranny expell.
In spite of Earth and Hell;
And haughty Monarchs he will shake,
And tyranny expell.
Thou, like a King, dost honour give,
Yea, titles which are high;
For ev'ry Subject's made by thee
A Prince in dignity.
Yea, titles which are high;
For ev'ry Subject's made by thee
A Prince in dignity.
A Kingdom too thou hast in store
For every one of them;
And they shall reign for evermore,
O're such who did contemn
For every one of them;
And they shall reign for evermore,
O're such who did contemn
These faithful Servants who to thee
Sincerely did adhere;
And they, when thou O Lord dost come,
Shall Crowns of Glory wear.
Sincerely did adhere;
And they, when thou O Lord dost come,
Shall Crowns of Glory wear.
64
Sing praises therefore, O ye Saints,
Sing praise unto our King;
And make the fame of Jesus Christ
Throughout the Earth to ring.
Sing praise unto our King;
And make the fame of Jesus Christ
Throughout the Earth to ring.
