Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#LXXXIXe

LXXXIXe. Christ's Mediatorial Kingdom; or, His divine and human Nature

1 Hear what the Lord in vision said,
And made his mercy known:
"Sinners, behold your help is laid
"On my almighty son.

2 Behold the man my wisdom chose
Among your mortal race:
His head my holy oil o'erflows,
With full supplies of grace.

3 High shall he reign on David's throne,
My people's better king;
My arm shall beat his rivals down,
And still new subjects bring.

4 My truth shall guard him in his way
With mercy by his side;
While in my name o'er earth and sea
He shall in triumph ride.

5 Me for his father and his GOD,
He shall forever own,
Call me his rock, his high abode;
And I'll support my son.

6 My first-born son array'd in grace,
At my right hand shall sit,
Beneath him angels know their place,
And monarchs at his feet.

7 My covenant stands forever fast;
My promises are strong;
Firm as the heavens his throne shall last,
His seed endure as long.
