Great Heir of David’s throne

Verse 1
Great heir of David’s throne,
Thy royal power assume,
To reign in faithful hearts alone,
Thou with thy Father come;
Set up thy throne of grace
In all the heathen’s sight,
Thy kingdom of true holiness,
And order it aright.

Verse 2
Now for thy promise sake,
O’er earth exalted be,
The kingdom, power, and glory take,
Which all belong to thee;
In zeal for God and man
Thy full salvation bring,
The universal monarch reign,
The saints’ eternal King.
