Might he now exalted be
In all the heathen’s view, (Ps. 46:10)
Christ the heavenly sanctuary,
The tabernacle true! (Heb. 8:2, Heb. 9:11-12, Rev. 21:22)
Us thy favourite people make,
From whom thou never wilt depart, (Ezek. 37:27, Jer. 32:38-40, Heb. 13:5)
Father, Son, and Spirit take
Possession of our heart. (John 14:23)
Might He now exalted be
