The Psalms of David ‎#201a

201a. Christ's Kingdom and Priesthood

1 Jesus, our Lord, ascend thy Throne,
And near the Father sit;
In Sion shall thy Pow'r 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 Abr'am 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.
