THE Lord unto my Lord hath said,By A Collection of Hymns C.M. Psalm cx.1. 1 THE Lord unto my Lord hath said, "Sit thou, in glory sit, Till I thine enemies have made To bow beneath thy feet."
2 Jesu, my Lord, mighty to save, What can my hopes withstand, While thee my Advocate I have, Enthroned at God's right hand? 3 Nature is subject to thy word, All power to thee is given, The uncontrolled, almighty Lord Of hell, and earth, and heaven. 4 And shall my sins thy will oppose? Master, thy right maintain! O let not thy usurping foes In me thy servant reign! 5 Come then, and claim me for thine own, Saviour, thy right assert! Come, gracious Lord, set up thy throne, And reign within my heart! 6 So shall I bless thy pleasing sway; And sitting at thy feet, Thy laws with all my heart obey, With all my soul submit. 7 So shall I do thy will below, As angels do above; The virtue of thy passion show, The triumphs of thy love 8 Thy love the conquest more than gains; To all I shall proclaim, Jesus the King, the conqueror, reigns, Bow down to Jesu's name! 9 To thee shall earth and hell submit, And every foe shall fall, Till death expires beneath thy feet, And God is all in all.
