PSALM 21. v. 1–9. (L. M.) Christ exalted to the Kingdom.
I
David rejoic'd in God his strength,Rais'd to the throne by special grace;
But Christ, the Son, appears at length,
Fulfils the triumph and the praise.
II
How great is the Messiah's joyIn the salvation of thy hand!
Lord, thou hast rais'd his kingdom high,
And given the world to his command.
III
Thy goodness grants whate'er he will,Nor doth the least request withhold;
Blessings of love prevent him still,
And crowns of glory, not of gold.
IV
Honour and majesty divineAround his sacred temples shine;
Blest with the favour of thy face,
And length of everlasting days.
V
Thine hand shall find out all his foes;And as a fiery oven glows,
With raging heat and living coals,
So shall thy wrath devour their souls.
