1 For ever shall my Song record
The Truth and Mercy of the Lord;
Mercy and Truth for ever stand,
Like Heav'n, establish'd by his Hand.
2 "Thus to his Son he sware, and said,
"With Thee my Cov'nant first is made
"In Thee shall dying Sinners live,
"Glory and Grace are thine to give.
3 "Be thou my Prophet, thou my Priest;
"Thy Children shall be ever blest;
"Thou art my chosen King; thy Throne
"Shall stand eternal like my own.
4 "There's none of all my Sons above
"So much my Image or my Love;
"Celestial Pow'rs thy Subjects are,
"Then what can Earth to Thee compare?
5 "David, my Servant, whom I chose
"To guard my Flock, to crush my Foes,
"And rais'd him to the Jewish Throne,
"Was but a Shadow of my Son."
6 Now let the Church rejoice and sing
JESUS her Saviour and her King;
Angels his heav'nly Wonders show,
And Saints declare his Works below.
