H19. He sitteth at the right Hand of God

1 Jesus the Lord our souls adore,
A painful suff'rer now no more;
High on his Father's throne he reigns
O'er earth, and heav'n's extensive plains.

2 His race for ever is compleat,
For ever undisturb'd his seat;
Myriads of angels round him fly,
And sing his well gain'd victory.

3 Yet 'midst the honours of his throne,
He joys not for himself alone;
His meanest servants share their part,
Share in that royal tender heart.

4 Raise, raise, my soul, thy raptur'd sight,
With sacred wonder and delight;
Jesus at God's right hand now see
Enter'd beyond the veil for thee.
