For Ever Shall My Song Record lyrics

For ever shall my song record
The truth and mercy of the Lord;
Mercy and truth for ever stand,
Like heav`n, established by his hand.
2. Thus to his Son he sware, and said,
With thee my cov`nant first is made;
In thee shall dying sinners live,
Glory and grace are thine to give.

3. Be thou my Prophet, thou my Priest;
Thy children shall be ever blest;
Thou art my chosen King: thy throne
Shall stand eternal like my own.
4. There`s none of all my sons above
So much my image or my love;
Celestial powers thy subjects are:
Then what can earth to thee compare?
5. David, my servant, whom I chose
To guard my flock, to crush my foes,
And raised him to the Jewish throne,
Was but a shadow of my Son.

6. Now let the church rejoice and sing
Jesus, her Saviour and her King;
Angels his heav`nly wonders show,
And saints declare his works below.
