Christ's mediatorial kingdom; or, His Divine and human nature

Hear what the Lord in vision said,

And made his mercy known:

|Sinners, behold your help is laid

On my Almighty Son.

|Behold the Man my wisdom chose

Among your mortal race:

His head my holy oil o'erflows,

The Spirit of my grace.

|High shall he reign on David's throne,

My people's better King;

My arm shall beat his rivals down,

And still new subjects bring.

|My truth shall guard him in his way,

With mercy by his side,

While in my name through earth and sea

He shall in triumph ride.

|Me for his Father and his God

He shall for ever own,

Call me his rock, his high abode,

And I'll support my Son.

|My first-born Son arrayed in grace

At my right hand shall sit;

Beneath him angels know their place,

And monarchs at his feet.

|My cov'nant stands for ever fast,

My promises are strong;

Firm as the heav'ns his throne shall last,

His seed endure as long.|
