Hear What the Lord in Vision Said

Hear what the Lord in vi­sion said

And made His mer­cy known;

“Sinners

be­hold your help is laid

On My al­migh­ty Son.

“Behold the Man My wis­dom chose

Among your mor­tal race;

His head My ho­ly oil o’er­flows

The Spir­it of My grace.

“High shall He reign on Da­vid’s throne

My peo­ple’s bet­ter king;

My arm shall beat His ri­vals down

And still new sub­jects bring.

“My truth shall guard Him in His way

With mer­cy by His side

While in My name through earth and sea

He shall in tri­umph ride.

“Me for His Fa­ther and His God

He shall for ev­er own

Call Me His rock

His high ab­ode

And I’ll sup­port My Son.

“My first-born Son ar­rayed in grace

At My right hand shall sit;

Beneath Him an­gels know their place

And mon­archs at His feet.

My cov’nant stands for ev­er fast

My pro­mis­es are strong;

Firm as the heav’ns His throne shall last

His seed en­dure as long.
