Christ's kingdom and priesthood. <br /> <br />Jesus, our Lord, ascend thy throne, <br />And near the Father sit; <br />In Zion shall thy power be known, <br />And make thy foes submit. <br /> <br />What wonders shall thy gospel do! <br />Thy converts shall surpass <br />The num'rous drops of morning dew, <br />And own thy sovereign grace. <br /> <br />God hath pronounced a firm decree, <br />Nor changes what he swore: <br />"Eternal shall thy priesthood be, <br />When Aaron is no more. <br /> <br />"Melchizedek, that wondrous priest, <br />That king of high degree, <br />That holy man who Abraham blessed, <br />Was but a type of thee." <br /> <br />Jesus our Priest for ever lives <br />To plead for us above; <br />Jesus our King for ever gives <br />The blessings of his love. <br /> <br />God shall exalt his glorious head, <br />And his high throne maintain; <br />Shall strike the powers and princes dead <br />Who dare oppose his reign.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-110/
