Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Prophecies Of Jesus Christ, concerning his Coming and Government Lyrics: 1 Thus said GOD, unto my LORD< "Sit in State, at my right Hand: "Till I make thy daring Foes "Subject unto thy Command. 2 Thou, from Sion, shalt extend O'er thy Foes a gen'ral Sway; Nations shall thy Pow'r behold, And with Free-Will Off'rings pay. 3 They, to worship thee, shall come, When thy rising Beams they view; full as numberless and bright, As the Drops of Morning-Dew. 4 GOD hath sworn, nor sworn in vain, Thou a Priest shalt ever be; Like Melchisedech's, thy Reign Shall no Change or Period see. 5 He shall sit at thy Right Hand, For thee, Kings in Anger wound; Heathen Nations he shall judge, And their Bodies scatter round. 6 After drinking of the Brook, Which he crosses in his Way; He shall lift his Head on high, And his glorious Pow'r display. Scripture: Psalm 110 Used With Tune: [Thus said God unto my Lord]

The Lord, how fearful is his name!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 The Lord, how fearful is his name! How wide is his command! Nature, with all her moving frame, Rests on his mighty hand. 2 Immortal glory forms his throne, And light his awful robe; Whilst, with a smile or with a frown, He manages the globe. 3 Adoring angels round him fall, In all their shining forms, His Sov'reign eye looks thro' them all, And pities mortal worms. 4 His bowels to our worthless race In sweet compassion move; He clothes his looks with softest grace, And takes his title, love. 5 Now, let the Lord for ever reign, And sway us as he will, Sick, or in health, in ease, or pain We are his fav'rites still. 6 No more shall peevish passion rise; The tongue no more complain; 'Tis Sov'reign Love that lends our joys, And love resumes again.
