Lyics

BEHOLD the woman's promis'd Seed;

Behold the great Messiah come!

Behold the prophets all agreed

To give him the superior room.



Abrah'm, the saint, rejoic'd of old,

When visions of the Lord he saw;

Moses, the man of God, foretold

This great Fulfiller of his law.



The types bore witness to his name,

Obtain'd their chief design, and ceas'd;

The incense, and the bleeding lamb,

The ark, the altar, and the priest.



Predictions in abundance join

To pour their witness on his head:

Jesus, we bow before thy throne,

And own thee as the promis'd Seed.
