Representative Text

1. Jehovah said unto my Lord,
"Sit thou enthron'd at my Right-hand;
"Till I thy Foes thy Foot-stool make,
"And them subject to thy Command.
2. The Lord, from sacred Sion's Seat,
The Scepter of thy Strength, shall send;
Thence, in the Midst of all thy Foes,
Thy conquering Pow'r shall wide extend.

3, Thy People, that victorious Day,
To glorious Liberties are led;
Adorn'd with Holiness thy Seed,
As Dew from Morning's Womb, shall spread.
4. Jehovah, by himself, hath sworn,
An Oath which he will never break;
"Thou art an everlasting Priest,
"Of th, Order of Melchisedeck.

5. The Lord, who is at thy Right-hand,
Shall, in the Day of Vengeance smite,
The greatest Monarchs on the Earth,
Who dare his Government to slight,
6. He shall among the Heathen judge,
And with dead Bodies fill their Plains;
He'll sorely wound the potent Head,
Who over many Nations reigns.

7. The Torrent he shall stoop to drink.
While he the glorious Way shall tread;
Then, as Reward of all his Pains,
To endless Glories raise his Head.
