II.CXXXV. Types and prophecies of Christ

1 Behold the woman's promis'd seed!
Behold the great Messiah come!
Behold the prophets all agreed
To give him the superior room!

2 Abr'am, the saint, rejoic'd of old
When visions of the Lord he saw;
Moses, the man of God, foretold
This great fulfiller of his law.

3 The types bore witness to his name,
Obtain'd their chief design and ceas'd;
The incense, and the bleeding lamb,
The ark, the altar, and the priest.

4 Predictions in abundance meet
To join their blessings on his head:
Jesus, we worship at thy feet,
And nations own the promis'd seed.
