And near the Father sit;
In Zion shall thy power be known,
And make thy foes submit.
2 What wonders shall thy gospel do!
Thy converts shall surpass
The numerous drops of morning dew,
And own thy sovereign grace.
3 G0d hath pronounc'd a firm decree,
Nor changes what he swore;
"Eternal shall thy priesthood be,
"When Aaron is no more.
4 "Melchisedec, that wondrous priest,
"That king of high degree,
"That holy man who Abraham blest,
"Was but a type of thee."
5 Jesus our priest forever lives
To plead for us above;
Jesus our King forever gives
The blessings of his love.
6 God shall exalt his glorious head,
And his high throne maintain,
Shall strike the powers and princes dead,
Who dare oppose his reign.
