Glory to God, who reigns above,
Who dwells in light, whose name is love;
Ye saints and angels, if ye can,
Declare the love of God to man!
O, what can more his love commend,
Than his dear only Son to send?
That man, condemned to die, might live,
And God be glorious to forgive!
Messiah's come—with joy behold
The days by prophets long foretold;
Judah, thy royal sceptre's broke,
And time still proves what Jacob spoke.
Daniel, thy weeks are all espired,
The time prophetic seals required;
Cut off for sins, but not his own,
Thy Prince Messiah did atone.
Thy famous temple, Solomon,
Is by the latter far outshone;
It wanted not thy glittering store...
Messiah's presence graced it more.
We see the prophecies fulfilled
ln Jesus, that most wondrous child:
His birth, his life, his death, combine
To prove his character divine.
Jesus, thy gospel firmly stands,
A blessing to these favoured lands;
No infidel shall be our dread.
Since thou art risen from the dead.
