1 Hear what the Lord in vision said,
And made his mercies known:
"Sinners, behold, your help is laid
"On my almighty Son."
2 Behold the man my wisdom chose
Among your mortal race:
His head my holy oil o'erflows,
With full supplies of grace.
3 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.
4 My truth shall guard him in his way
With mercy by his side;
While in my name o'er earth and sea
He shall in triumph ride.
5 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.
6 My first-born Son array'd in grace,
At my right hand shall sit;
Beneath him angels know their place,
And monarchs at his feet.
7 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.
