The Psalms of David ‎#P110a

P110a. Thus the eternal Father spake

1 Thus the eternal Father spake
To Christ the Son; "Ascend and sit
"At my Right hand, till I shall make
"Thy foes submissive at thy Feet.

2 "From Sion shall thy Word proceed;
"Thy Word, the Scepter in thy Hand,
"Shall make the Hearts of Rebels bleed,
"And bow their Wills to thy Command.

3 "That Day shall shew thy Pow'r is great,
"When Saints shall flock with willing Minds,
"And Sinners croud thy Temple Gate,
"Where Holiness in Beauty shines."

4 O blessed Pow'r! O glorious Day!
What a large Vict'ry shall ensue!
And Converts, who thy Grace obey,
Exceed the Drops of Morning Dew.
