Psalms ‎#110c

110c. Christ's Kingdom and Priesthood

1 Jesus, our Lord ascend thy throne
And near thy Father sit;
In Sion shall thy pow'r be known,
And make thy foes submit.

2 What wonders shall thy gospel do!
Thy converts shall surpass
The num'rous drops of morning-dew,
And own thy sov'reign grace.

3 God hath pronounc'd a firm decree,
Nor changes what he swore;
"Eternal shall thy priesthood be,
"When Aaron is no more.

4 "Melchisedec, that wond'rous priest,
"That king of high degree,
"That holy man, who Abra'm blest,
"Was but a type of thee."

5 Jesus, our Priest for ever lives
To plead for us above;
Jesus our King for ever gives
The blessings of his love.

6 God shall exalt his glorious head,
And his high throne maintain,
Shall strike the pow'rs and princes dead,
Who dare oppose his reign.
