1 Chronicles 12:18: Thine are we, David, and on thy side, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
David's Son by heaven adored,
We for our King receive,
Unto Thee our sovereign Lord
In life and death we cleave,
Loving, true allegiance bear.
And to Thy will ourselves resign.
Thine without reserve we are.
Irrevocably Thine.
Jesus come. Thy kingdom here
Set up we long to see.
Forward on Thy side to' appear,
O'erjoy'd to act for Thee:
In Thy word of riglUeousness
Ride on. Thy royal right maintain,
Bless'd of God, and sent to bless
The nations with Thy reign!
