Priest, Judge, King Prophecy

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.

      • orchidee

        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....
