LyicsBEHOLD 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.
