177b. Christ's mediatorial kingdom; or, His divine and human nature

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 covenant stands for ever fast,
"My promises are strong;
"Firm as the heavens his throne shall last,
"His seed endure as long."
