Jehovah to Jehovah, the Lord

Verse 1
Jehovah to Jehovah,
The Lord of earth and heaven
To Christ my Lord
Hath spoke the word,
Hath full dominion given:
At my right-hand exalted,
Sit down with me in glory,
In calm repose,
Till all thy foes
I force to bow before Thee.

Verse 2
Thy foes shall be thy footstool,
The beast and the false prophet
With death at last
And Hades cast
Into that fiery Tophet:
Thee all shall then acknowledge
Almighty to deliver,
Who once wast slain,
But liv’st again
Our Lord and King forever!
