Treble.
NOw that the LORD hath re-advanc'd the Crown;
Which Thirst of spoyle, and frantick zeal threw down:
Tenor.
Now that the LORD the Miter hath restor'd
Which, with the Crown, lay in the dust abhorr'd:
Treble.
Prayse him ye Kings,
Tenor.
Prayse him ye Priests,
Chor.
All Sing,
Glory to CHRIST, our High Priest, Highest King.
Treble.
May Judah's Royal Scepter still shine clear!
Tenor.
May aarons Holy Rod still Blossoms bear!
Treble and Tenor.
Scepter and Rod, Rule still and Guide our Land!
And These whom GOD Anoints, feel no Rude Hand,
May Love, Peace, Plenty wait on Throne and Chair,
And may Both share in Blessings, as in Care.
Chorus.
Angels look down, and Joy to see
Like that above, a Monarchie.
Angels look down, and Joy to see
Like that above an Hierarchie.
