Tune: Deus Tuorum Militum or Grenoble
('Awake, awake, fling off the night')
Psalm 110
*******
The LORD {God]} He said unto my Lord {Jesus}
Will be according to His word
Sit you at my right hand until
I carry out my purpose still
Until I make your enemies
Your footstool, each your power sees
The LORD {God} shall send rod of your strength
Out of Zion, rule you at length
Your {Jesus'} people shall be willing when
Day of your power is shown then
In the beauties of holiness
As new days mornings you shall bless
You {Jesus} have the dew of your youth true
The LORD {God} has sworn , and will renew
Will not repent, nor promise change
Nor you from His wise plans estrange
The promise this, you are a priest
For ever, shall save great to least
After Melchizedek's* order
The LORD {God} shall grace on you confer
The Lord {Jesus} at your right hand shall break
Kings in pieces, and their goods take
In day of His wrath it shall be
Victory o'er His foes we shall see
He {Jesus} shall judge among the heathen
There be many dead bodies then
And too rulers break in pieces
For their evil which ne'er ceases
He {Jesus} shall drink of brook in the way
So find refreshment every day
And be revived, lift up His head
Priest, King, Judge {all Jesus}, He would rise from dead
* Melchizedek - An Old Testament Priest.

A wonderful summary of the journey our Lord had to take to reach his true destiny - thanks for the informative stanzas dear Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
Well done, orchie. This one looks like it was not easy to write.
Thanks Fred. Yes, not the easiest one to write. Generally LORD in capitals refers to God, and Lord with only first letter in capitals refers to Jesus. A bit tricky, as the first line of the Psalm is: 'My LORD said unto my Lord'. It's not someone talking to themselves. Well, may be in a way it is. It's said God is a Trinity, so....
