"I speak of the things which I have made touching the King.... Grace is poured into Thy lips.... Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O Most Mighty, with glory and majesty.... Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of Thy kingdom is a right scepter" (Psalm 45:1-6).
The King of glory came to earth;
Who would have thought His sword
Was cloaked beneath His humble birth,
Though He was heaven's Lord?
Within His lips were words of grace,
And by His words thus spoken,
He waged His battle in this place,
And Satan's hold was broken!
To enemies it may have seemed
His death was His defeat,
But that is how we were redeemed:
His triumph was complete!
Your throne, O God, is justified,
Your scepter righteous too,
In granting pardon, since You died
For those who trust in You.
