and of His kingdom there shall be no end.

The end of sin and death is near:
The Man shall then to God resign
His kingdom and dominion here,
His exercise of grace Divine,
The kingdom which His Father gave,
The delegated power to save.

When all His friends are saved at last,
And all His enemies destroy'd,
The Mediator's sway is past,
His office and commission void,
The Man's authority is o'er,
And Christ for sinners pleads no more.

But Christ the God maintains His throne,
No period shall His kingdom see,
By nature with His Father one,
A King from all eternity,
The Divinity of Christ. 22o
The same Jehovah He remains,
And o'er His saints for ever reigns.
