The Psalms of David ‎#I.LXXII

I.LXXII. Daughters of Sion, come, behold

1 Daughters of Sion, come, behold
The Crown of Honour and of Gold
Which the glad Church, with Joys unknown,
Plac'd on the Head of Solomon.

2 Jesus, thou everlasting King,
Accept the Tribute which we bring;
Accept the well-deserv'd Renown,
And wear our Praises as thy Crown.

3 Let every Act of Worship be
Like our Espousals, Lord, for Thee;
Like the dear Hour when from above,
We first receiv'd thy Pledge of Love.

4 The Gladness of that happy Day!
Our Hearts would wish it long to stay;
Nor let our Faith forsake its Hold,
Nor Comfort sink, nor Love grow cold.

5 Each following Minute, as it flies,
Increase thy Praise, improve our Joys,
Till we are rais'd to sing thy Name
At the great Supper of the Lamb.

6 O that the Months would roll away,
And bring that Coronation Day!
The King of Grace shall fill the Throne,
With all his Father's Glories on.
