He who on earth as man was known

And bore our sins and pains,
Now, seated on th' eternal throne,
The God of glory reigns.

With an unerring skill,
And countless worlds, extended wide,
Obey his sovereign will.

In yonder world above,
His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.

Beat heavy on their head,
To this almighty Rock they run,
And find a pleasing shade.

In such a glorious Friend!
Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; At the Right Hand of the Majesty on High

Hymn 53
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-2 First Line: God, who in various methods told Lyrics:
God, who in various methods told
His mind and will to saints of old,
Sent down his Son, with truth and grace,
To teach us in these latter days.
Our nation reads the written word,
That book of life, that sure record:
The bright inheritance of heav'n
Is by the sweet conveyance giv'n.
God's kindest thoughts are here expressed,
Able to make us wise and bless'd;
The doctrines are divinely true,
Fit for reproof and comfort too.
Ye British isles, who read his love
In long epistles from above,
(He hath not sent his sacred word
To every land,) praise ye the Lord.
