HYMN 511. Greatness of Christ's Kingdom expressed and explained. 2. METRE.

Psalm 110.

THE Lord unto my Lord thus said, sit thou at my right hand, Till I thy foes a stool have made, whereon thy feet shall stand. The Lord shall out of Sion bring the Scepter of his might: Amidst thy foes be thou the King, and ruler in their sight.

Page 604

The people shall come willingly, submitting to thy truth, Yielding a fruitfull progeny of Converts in thy youth: Thy beautious spouse shall bring to thee, (to fill the sacred room:) As fruitfull births, as dews can be, that drops from mornings womb.
This word God sware, and will not break, thou art the sacred one; A Priest like to Melchisedech, whose lineage was not known: The Lord that is at thy right hand (for thy support and stay,) Shall strike through Kings that dare withstand in his most wrathfull day.
Among the Heathen he shall judge, and all the places fill With limbs of men that bare thee grudge, whom thou shalt slay and kill. And as the war with fury spreads to multiply the slain, He shall proceed and wound the heads o're many Lands that reign.
Then shall he drink (that bitter cup,) the torrent in the way: Therefore shall he the head lift up at's Resurrection day. The God of Israel therefore be praised altogether: From first to last for evermore, Amen, Amen, for ever.
