The Lord unto My Lord Hath Said

The Lord un­to my Lord hath said

Sit Thou

in glo­ry sit

Till I Thine ene­mies have made

To bow be­neath Thy feet.

Jesu

my Lord

migh­ty to save

What can my hopes with­stand

When Thee my ad­vo­cate I have

Enthroned at God’s right hand?

I fear nor earth

nor sin

nor hell

And death hath lost his sting

In vain a while Thy foes re­bel

Thou

Je­sus

art my king.

Nature is sub­ject to Thy word

All pow­er to Thee is giv­en

The un­con­trolled al­migh­ty Lord

Of hell

and earth and Heav­en.

And shall my sins Thy will op­pose?

Jesu

Thy right main­tain;

O let not Thine usurp­ing foes

In me Thy serv­ant reign.

Master

on Thee my soul is stayed

Thou wilt not quit Thy claim;

Thou on­ly hast my ran­som paid

And on­ly Thine I am.

Come

then

and claim me for Thine own:

Savior

Thy right as­sert;

Come

gra­cious Lord

set up Thy throne

And reign with­in my heart.

The day of Thy great pow­er I feel

And pant for li­ber­ty;

I loathe my­self

de­ny my will

And give up all for Thee.

I hate my sins

no long­er mine

For I re­nounce them

too;

My weak­ness with Thy strength I join

Thy strength shall all sub­due.

Our com­mon foes

who Thee de­fied

And would not own Thy sway

Envy and sloth

de­sire and pride

And hate and an­ger slay.

Thy ene­mies de­stroy in mine

Pronounce their speedy doom;

In ven­geance speak

in bright­ness shine

The man of sin con­sume.

So shall I bless Thy plead­ing sway

And sit­ting at Thy feet

Thy laws with all my heart ob­ey

With all my soul sub­mit.

So shall I do Thy will be­low

As an­gels do ab­ove

The vir­tue of Thy pass­ion show

The tri­umphs of Thy love.

Thy love the con­quest more than gains

To all I shall pro­claim;

Jesus

the King

the Con­quer­or reigns:

Bow down to Je­su’s name.

To Thee shall earth and hell sub­mit

And ev­ery foe shall fall

Till death ex­pires be­neath Thy feet

And God is all in all!
