Risen Priest and Ruling Prince


"That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth… let not mercy and truth forsake thee… write them upon the table of thine heart" (Psalm 144:12; Proverbs 3:3).  "Behold the Man whose name is The BRANCH… He shall bear the glory… and He shall be a Priest upon His throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both" (Zechariah 6:12,13).  "Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory? And… He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself" (Luke 24:26,27). 

Let neither mercy nor the truth
Foretold of Jesus be forsaken
As we are training up our youth
So that their faith may not be shaken. 

Behold the Man who was foretold  
As Priest and Prince upon His throne: 
He is the BRANCH that we behold
Who makes His peace and justice known. 

The Lord who bore our sin and shame
Now bears the glory evermore. 
For us our Lord and Savior came
To take away the sins He bore. 

O Lord, You are our risen Priest
And glorious ruling Prince as well. 
May Your dominion be increased
In grateful hearts You saved from hell.
