1 Kings 6:7: David's true, celestial Son

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

David's true, celestial Son
Carries thus His building on.
Joins the stones before prepared,
By the line and plummet squared:
Who the sure foundation lays,
He completes the work of grace,
He brings forth the crowning-stone,
Perfects all His saints in one.
