Lyics

JESUS, our Lord, ascend thy throne,

And near thy Father sit:

In Zion shall thy power be known,

And make thy foes submit.



What wonders shall thy gospel do!

Thy converts shall surpass

The num'rous drops of morning dew,

And own thy saving grace.



Jesus, our Priest, for ever lives,

To plead for us above;

Jesus, our King, for ever gives

The blessings of his love.



God shall exalt his glorious head,

And his high throne maintain;

Shall strike the powers and princes dead,

Who dare oppose his reign.
