- 1Now be my heart inspir'd to sing
- The glories of my Saviour King;
- Jesus the Lord; how heav’nly fair
- His form! how bright his beauties are!
- 2O’er all the sons of human race
- He shines with a superior grace,
- Love from His lips divinely flows,
- And blessings all his state compose.
- 3Dress thee in arms most mighty Lord,
- Gird on the terror of thy sword;
- In majesty and glory ride
- With truth and meekness at thy side.
- 4Thine anger, like a pointed dart,
- Shall pierce the foes of stubborn heart;
- Or words of mercy kind and sweet,
- Shall melt the rebels at thy feet.
- 5Thy throne, O God, for ever stands,
- Grace is the scepter in thy hands;
- Thy laws and works are just and right,
- But grace and justice thy delight.
- 6God, thine own God has richly shed
- His oil of gladness on thy head;
- And with his sacred Spirit bless'd
- His first born Son above the rest.
