Psalm 45 - Part 1
1 Our hearts are overflowing
To speak a goodly thing —
To tell what we've experienced
Of our exalted King.
Our tongues as pens are ready,
We've volumes here to "write" —
The glories of our Bridegroom,
Our Lord and our delight.
2 Lord Jesus, Thou art fairer
Than all the sons of men;
Thy goodness is transcendent —
Hallelujah! Amen!
Upon Thy lips most holy
Abundant grace is poured;
Forever God has blessed Thee,
Our gracious, glorious Lord!
3 Thou art the mighty Warrior
Who rides to victory;
In Thy majestic glory
Ride on triumphantly!
The peoples fall beneath Thee —
The conquering One Thou art.
Thine arrows in their sharpness
Have entered Satan's heart!
4 Thy throne, O God, forever
And ever shall endure;
The sceptre of Thy kingdom
Upon the earth is sure.
'Tis with the oil of gladness
God has anointed Thee
Above all Thy companions —
How worthy there to be!
5 Of aloes, myrrh, and cassia
Do all Thy garments smell:
Thy death and resurrection
Do all Thy deeds forthtell.
Out of the local churches
Shall praises make Thee glad,
And praises upon praises
Thy joyful saints shall add.
