Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I’ll speak the honors of my King,
His form divinely fair;
None of His sons of mortal race
May with the Lord compare.
2. Sweet is Thy speech, and heav’nly grace
Upon Thy lips is shed;
Thy God, with blessings infinite,
Hath crowned Thy sacred head.
3. Gird on Thy sword, victorious Prince,
Ride with majestic sway;
Thy terrors shall strike through Thy foes,
And make the world obey.
4. Thy throne, O God, for ever stands;
Thy word of grace shall prove
A peaceful scepter in Thy hands,
To rule the saints by love.
5. Justice and truth attend Thee still,
But mercy is Thy choice;
And God, Thy God, Thy soul shall fill
With most peculiar joys. Used With Tune: FARNBORO Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
