Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#187

187. Hear what the Lord in vision siad

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,
'The Spirit of my 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 thro' earth and sea
'He shall in triumph ride.

5 'Me for his Father and his God
'He shall for ever 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 cov'nant stands forever fast;
'My promises are strong:
'Firm as the heav'ns his throne shall last,
'His seed endure as long.'
