Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 45 (v4)
Various/Unknown
Hail, mighty Jesus! how divine
Is Thy victorious sword!
The stoutest rebel must resign
At Thy commanding word.
2 Deep are the wounds Thy arrows give,
They pierce the hardest heart;
Thy smiles of grace the slain revive,
And joy succeeds to smart.
3 Still gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh,
Ride with majestic sway,
Go forth, sweet Prince, triumphantly,
And make Thy foes obey.
4 And when Thy victories are complete,
When all the chosen race
Shall round the throne of glory meet,
To sing Thy conquering grace,
5 Oh may my humble soul be found
Among that favour'd band!
And I with them Thy praise will sound
Throughout Immanuel's land.
Benjamin Wallin, 1750;
Augustus M. Toplady, 1776.
