The Lord declares that Christ himself will build
A house, His holy name to magnify.
The blessings promised David are fulfilled
In raising him who for this house did die.
The Spirit has, when Christ 'nearth's womb was staid,
Created from his death him first in birth.
Rejoice! This is the day the Lord has made:
His Christ now rules the kingdom of this earth.
As God has said to him, "You are my Son;
I have become your Father on this day,"
So saying, he has crowned him as the one
Who evermore remains though worlds decay.
Hosanna, save us Lord that we may bring
The blessing due your Christ- our Priest and King.
