[Jesus the Father's darling Son]
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, &c.
—vii. 9, 10.
Jesus the Father's darling Son
In Joseph we behold,
The Man with God for ever one
By envious brethren sold;
To Gentile hands deliver'd o'er
Whom God did soon release,
Whom every knee shall bow before,
And every tongue confess.

Redeem'd from all His sufferings here
All power to Him is given,
Advanced in His own right to' appear
Before the King of heaven;
The Spirit He hath received above
Of wisdom and of grace,
The fulness of His Father's love
For Jacob's favour'd race.

The church His house and kingdom stands,
And subjected to Him,
Acknowledges the mild commands
Of its great Head supreme;
Not of a servant but a Son
Jesus the power maintains,
With full authority alone
O'er earth and heaven He reigns.
