Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #163 (1786) Scripture: Psalm 89:19-29 First Line: Hear what the Lord in vision said Lyrics: 1 Hear what the Lord in vision said,
And made his mercy known:
"Sinners, behold your help is laid
"On my almighty Son.
2 Behold the man my wisdom chose
Among your mortal race:
His head my holy oil o'erflows,
With full supplies of grace.
3 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.
4 My truth shall guard him in his way
With mercy by his side;
While in my name o'er earth and sea
He shall in triumph ride.
5 Me for his father and his God,
He shall forever own,
Call me his rock, his high abode,
And I'll support my son.
6 My first-born son array'd in grace,
At my right hand shall sit,
Beneath him angels know their place,
And monarchs at his feet.
7 My covenant stands forever fast;
My promises are strong;
Firm as the heavens his throne shall last,
His seed endure as long.
