[Jesus fulfil the title]

The King of the Jews. —xv. 26.

Jesus fulfil the title
Which caused Thy condemnation,
Immortal King
By dying bring
To all Thy church salvation;
Come in Thy red apparel,
All beautiful and glorious,
Thy foes assail,
O'er sin prevail,
O'er death and hell victorious.

We by Thy bloody conquest
Redeem'd from every nation,
A right obtain
With Thee to reign
As partners of Thy passion;
Admit Thy loyal subjects
To triumph in Thy favour,
Us inward Jews
Who chosen choose
Thee for our Lord and Saviour.
To Thee our lawful Sovereign
Most humbly and sincerely
Our hearts we give;
Thine own receive
Which Thou hast bought so dearly,
King of Thy favourite Israel,
Of every true believer,
By death alone
Erect a throne
To stand in us for ever.
