Christ exalted to the Kingdom

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #40a (1740) Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom 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 giv'n 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 Temple 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 fiery Oven glows With raging Heat and living Coals, So shall thy Wrath devour their Souls. Scripture: Psalm 21:1-9 Languages: English

The Kingdom of Christ

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #127a (1740) Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom First Line: Great God, whose universal Sway Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, whose universal Sway The known and unknown Worlds obey, Now give the Kingdom to thy Son, Extend his Pow'r, exalt his Throne. 2 Thy Sceptre well becomes his Hands, All Heav'n submits to his Commands; His Justice shall avenge the Poor, And Pride and Rage prevail no more. 3 With Pow'r be vindicates the Just, And treads th' Oppressor in the Dust; His Worship and his Fear shall last, Till Hours, and Years, and Time be past. 4 As Rain on Meadows newly mown, So shall he send his Influence down; His Grace on fainting Souls distils, Like heav'nly Dew on thirsty Hills. 5 The Heathen Lands that lie beneath The Shades of overspreading Death, Revive at his first dawning Light, And Deserts blossom at the Sight. 6 The Saints shall flourish in his Days, Drest in the Robes of Joy and Praise; Peace, like a River, from his Throne, Shall flow to Nations yet unknown. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English

Maker and Sovereign Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P2a (1766) Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom Lyrics: 1 [Maker and Sovereign Lord Of Heaven, and Earth, and Seas, Thy Providence confirms thy Word, And answers thy Decrees. 2 The Things so long foretold By David are fulfill'd, When Jews and Gentiles join to slay Jesus, thine only Child.] 3 Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews with one Accord Bend all their Counsels to destroy Th' Anointed of the Lord? 4 Rulers and Kings agree To form a vain Design; Against the Lord their Pow'rs unite, Against his Christ they join. 5 The Lord derides their Rage, And will support his Throne; He that hath rais'd him from the Dead, Hath own'd him for his Son. Pause 6 Now he's ascended high, And asks to rule the Earth; The Merit of his Blood he pleads, And pleads his heav'nly Birth. 7 He asks, and GOD bestows A large Inheritance; Far as the World's remotest Ends His Kingdom shall advance. 8 The Nations that rebel Must feel his Iron Rod: He'll vindicate those Honours well Which he received from GOD. 9 [Be wise, ye Rulers, now, And worship at his Throne; With trembling Joy, ye People, bow, To GOD's exalted Son. 10 If once his Wrath arise, Ye perish on the Place; Then blessed is the Soul that flies For Refuge to his Grace.] Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #520 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom Lyrics: Now be the God of Isr'el blessed, Who makes his truth appear; His mighty hand fulfils his word, And all the oaths he sware.

[John wns the prophet of the Lord, To go before his face; The herald which our Savior God Sent to prepare his ways. He makes the great salvation known, He speaks of pardoned sins; While grace divine, and heav'nly love, In its own glory shines. "Behold the Lamb of God," he cnes. "That takes our guilt away; I saw the Spirit o'er his head, On his baptizing day.] "Be every vale exalted high, Sink every mountain low; The proud must stoop, and humble souls Shall his salvation know.

Psalm 22 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.50 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom First Line: Why has my God my soul forsook Lyrics: Why has my God my soul forsook, Nor will a smile afford? (Thus David once in anguish spoke, And thus our dying Lord.) Though 'tis thy chief delight to dwell Among thy praising saints, Yet thou canst hear a groan as well, And pity our complaints. Our fathers trusted in thy name, And great deliv'rance found; But I'm a worm, despised of men, And trodden to the ground. Shaking the head, they pass me by, And laugh my soul to scorn; "In vain he trusts in God," they cry,. "Neglected and forlorn." But thou art he who formed my flesh By thine almighty word; And since I hung upon the breast, My hope is in the Lord. Why will my Father hide his face, When foes stand threat'ning round, In the dark hour of deep distress, And not a helper found? Behold thy darling left among The cruel and the proud, As bulls of Bashan, fierce and strong, As lions roaring loud. From earth and hell my sorrows meet To multiply the smart; They nail my hands, they pierce my feet, And try to vex my heart. Yet if thy sovereign hand let loose The rage of earth and hell, Why will my heav'nly Father bruise The Son he loves so well? My God, if possible it be, Withhold this bitter cup But I resign my will to thee, And drink the sorrows up. My heart dissolves with pangs unknown, In groans I waste my breath; Thy heavy hand has brought me down Low as the dust of death. Father, I give my spirit up, And trust it in thy hand; My dying flesh shall rest in hope, And rise at thy command. Scripture: Psalm 22:1-16 Languages: English

He sinks in floods of deep distress; How high the waters rise! While to his heav'nly Father's ear He sends perpetual cries. "Hear me, O Lord, and save thy Son, Nor hide thy shining face; Why should thy fav'rite look like one Forsaken of thy grace? "With rage they persecute the man That groans beneath thy wound, While for a sacrifice I pour My life upon the ground. "They tread my honor to the dust, And laugh when I complain; Their sharp insulting slanders add Fresh anguish to my pain. "All my reproach is known to thee, The scandal and the shame; Reproach has broke my bleeding heart, And lies defiled my name. "I looked for pity, but in vain; My kindred are my grief: I ask my friends for comfort round, But meet with no relief. "With vinegar they mock my thirst, They give me gall for food; And sporting with my dying groans, They triumph in my blood. "Shine into my distressed soul, Let thy compassions save; And though my flesh sink down to death, Redeem it from the grave. "I shall arise to praise thy name, Shall reign in worlds unknown; And thy salvation, O my God, Shall seat me on thy throne." Scripture: Psalm 69:14-21 Languages: English

The Jews, his brethren and his kin, Abused the Man that checked their sin; While he fulfilled thy holy laws, They hate him, but without a cause. ["My Father's house," said he, "was made A place for worship, not for trade:" Then scatt'ring all their gold and brass He scourged the merchants from the place.] [Zeal for the temple of his God Consumed his life, exposed his blood; Reproaches at thy glory thrown He felt, and mourned them as his own.] [His friends forsook, his followers fled, While foes and arms surround his head; They curse him with a sland'rous tongue, And the false judge maintains the wrong.] His life they load with hateful lies, And charge his lips with blasphemies; They nail him to the shameful tree: There hung the Man that died for me. [Wretches with hearts as hard as stones Insult his piety and groans; Gall was the food they gave him there, And mocked his thirst with vinegar.] But God beheld, and from his throne Marks out the men that hate his Son; The hand that raised him from the dead, Shall pour the vengeance on their head.
