Jehovah's eyes, with thee they are: Thy wise and providential care, Which doth the universe sustain, Is chiefly for thy saints employ'd, 'Till all thy saints are lost in God, And thus their full perfection gain. "The man whose name is The Branch, he shall build the temple of the Lord." Zech. vi. 12. Thy church, O God, shall find fulfill'd Thy sure prophetic word, The Branch, the man divine, shall build The temple of the Lord: The temple of the Lord are these Who still in Christ abide, 'Till rais'd to perfect righteousness, And wholly sanctified. "He shall bear the glory." Zech. vi. 13. Saviour, thou didst the glory bear E'en on the shameful tree, Triumphant in thy dying care, Thy bleeding love for me: Most glorious was my Lord below, When in his garments died;35 Not heaven itself a sight could shew Like Jesus crucified! 35Charles likely meant "garments dyed." Page 107 "He shall bear the glory." Zech. vi. 13. Almighty Lord of earth and skies, The government receive; The burthen on thy shoulder lies Who dost forever live; Thy Father's house, its royal state, And dignity unknown, And all its gracious glorious weight Is hung on thee alone. "He shall bear the glory." Zech. vi. 13. The Lord is King, let earth be glad! Jesus, the power is thine, Possest of thy reward, and clad With majesty divine; Thy Father's heavenly joy to share Thou dost with God sit down, And all the weight of glory bear In thine eternal crown. "He shall sit and rule upon his throne, and he shall be a priest upon his throne." Zech. vi. 13. The Lord unto my Lord hath said, Sit thou at my right-hand! For earth and heaven are subject made To Jesus's command: A King thou rulest on thy throne, A priest for me thou art, And spreadst thy power and peace unknown Thy kingdom in my heart. "The counsel of peace shall be between them both." Zech. vi. 13. Thee Prince and Saviour we adore In both thine offices, Thy priestly and thy kingly power Conspire to seal our peace;
