8,7.

1
On His Father’s throne is seated
 
Christ the Lord, the living One!
 
All His toil on earth completed,
 
All His work for sinners done;
 
In the glory
 
See Him, God’s eternal Son!
“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” (Revelation 3:21)
“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Revelation 1:18)
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” (John 17:4)
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (John 19:30)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)
2
Every knee shall bow before Him,
 
Every tongue confess His name,
 
Ransomed myriads shall adore Him,
 
Who endured the sinner’s shame!
 
From the glory
 
God doth now His worth proclaim.
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11)
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2)
3
Man the cross to Him awarded;
 
Man the Savior crucified;
 
This world’s judgment stands recorded,
 
God’s own justice satisfied!
 
By the glory
 
Christ was claimed on earth who died.
“Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha.” (John 19:16-17)
“Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” (John 12:31)
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 1:3)
4
Son of Man, His incarnation
 
Opened first the tale of grace;
 
Son of Man, in new creation
 
Leader of a chosen race!
 
Well may glory
 
Crown Him, in the ordered place!
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:18)
