Text:CHRIST's Kingdom and Priesthood

CXc. CHRIST's Kingdom and Priesthood

1 Jesus, our LORD, ascend thy throne,
And near the Father sit;
In Zion shall thy pow'er 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 "Melchizedek, 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.
