Part I.

T HE king, Jehovah, with Thy justice crown,
And in a Godlike reign his son renown.
He shall with equity Thy people sway,
And judgment in the scales of justice weigh.
Then little hills shall riot with increase,
And mountains flourish in the fruits of peace.
He shall the poor from violence protect,
Exalt the humble and the proud deject.
They, while the restless sun directs the year,
While moons increase and wane, Thy Name shall fear.
He shall descend like plenty-dropping show'rs,
Which clothe the earth and fill her lap with flow'rs.
The just shall flourish in his happy days,
And peace abound while stars extend their rays.
He shall from sea to sea enlarge his reign,
From swift Euphrates to the farthest main.
The wild inhabitants that live by prey
In scorched deserts shall his rule obey.
His foes shall lick the dust, rich with their spoils.
Kings of the ocean, and sea-grasped isles,
Shall orient pearl and sparkling stones present,
Gold from the sun-burnt Ethiopians sent.
The swart Sabaeans and Panchaia's king
Shall cassia, myrrh, and sacred incense bring.

Part II.

All kings shall homage to this king afford,
All nations shall receive him for their lord.
He shall th' oppressed hear, the poor defend,
The needy save, and such as have no friend,
Redeem their souls from fraud and violence,
And shall with blood revenge their blood's expense.
For this he long and happily shall live,
To him they shall the gold of Sheba give.
The people for their king shall hourly pray,
His praises sing, and bless him day by day.
Rank crops of corn shall on high mountains grow,
And shake like cedars when rough tempests blow.
The citizens shall prosper and abound,
Like blades of grass which clothe the pregnant ground.
His name shall last to all eternity,
Ev'n while the sun illuminates the sky.
All nations shall in him be blest; him all
The habitable earth shall blessed call.
O praised be our God! that King of kings
Who only can accomplish wondrous things!
For ever celebrate His glorious Name,
And fill the world with His illustrious fame.
Amen, Amen .
