The Lord unto His Christ Has Said

The Lord un­to His Christ has said

“Sit Thou at My right hand

Until I make Thine ene­mies

Submit to Thy com­mand.

A scep­ter pros­pered by the Lord

Thy migh­ty hand shall wield;

From Zi­on Thou shalt rule the world

And all Thy foes shall yield.

“Thy peo­ple will be glad­ly Thine

When Thou shalt come in might

Like dawn­ing day

like hope­ful youth

With ho­ly beau­ty bright.

A priest­hood that shall nev­er end

The Lord has giv­en Thee;

This He has sworn

and ev­er­more

Fulfilled His Word shall be.

Thou shalt sub­due the kings of earth

With God at Thy right hand;

The na­tions Thou shalt rule in might

And judge in ev­ery land.

The Christ

re­freshed by liv­ing streams

Shall nei­ther faint nor fall

And He shall be the glo­ri­ous Head

Exalted ov­er all.
