Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #151a (1786) First Line: Forever shall my song record Lyrics: 1 Forever shall my song record
The truth and mercy of the Lord;
Mercy and truth forever stand
Like heaven establish'd by his hand.
2 Thus to his Son he sware and said,
"With thee my covenant 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 powers 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."
