First Line: David rejoic'd in God his strength Lyrics: 1 David rejoic'd in God his strength,
Rais'd to the throne by special grace,
But Christ the son appears at length,
Fulfils the triumph and the praise.
2 How great is the Messiah's joy
In the salvation of thy hand!
Lord, thou hast rais'd his kingdom high,
And given the world to his command.
3 Thy goodness grants whate'er he will,
Nor doth the least request with-hold:
Blessings of love prevent him still,
And crowns of glory, not of gold.
4 Honour and majesty divine
Around his sacred temples shine:
Blest with the favour of thy face,
And length of everlasting days.
5 Thine hand shall find out all his foes;
And as a firey oven glows
With raging heat and living coals,
So shall thy wrath devour their souls.
