46b. Christ exalted in his kingdom

1 David rejoic'd in God his strength,
Rais'd to the throne by special grace,
But Christ the son appears at length,
Fulfils the triumph and the praise.

2 How great is the Messiah's joy
In the salvation of thy hand!
Lord, thou hast rais'd his kingdom high,
And given the world to his command.

3 Thy goodness grants whate'er he will,
Nor doth the least request withhold:
Blessings of love prevent him still,
And crowns of glory, not of gold.

4 Honor and majesty divine
Around his sacred temples shine;
Blest with the favor of thy face,
And length of everlasting days.

5 Thine hand shall find out all his foes;
And as a firey oven glows
With raging heat and living coals,
So shall thy wrath devour their souls.
