264. Thou Sit'st on High, Eternal Word

L.M.
by Morshead
1
Thou sit’st on high, eternal Word,
 
As Son of Man, as sovereign Lord,
 
And now by faith on Thee we rest,
 
Till all Thy title have confessed.
“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)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.” (John 1:1-2)
“Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.” (Luke 22:69)
“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Revelation 19:16)
“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.” (Psalm 37:7)
“And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:11)
2
Thou hast our souls from sins made clean,
 
Thy Spirit gives us strength within;
 
Whilst Thou for us in all our need,
 
At God’s right hand dost ever plead.
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
“That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.” (Ephesians 3:16)
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
3
Oh keep us in the narrow way,
 
That ne’er from Thee our footsteps stray;
 
Sustain our weakness, calm our fear,
 
And to Thy presence keep us near.
4
Oh be it thus till that blest day,
 
When God shall wipe all tears away;
 
Quickly, ’tis promised in the Word,
 
E’en so, Amen. Come quickly, Lord.
