God's Servant.
252. C. M. Anonymous. God's Servant.

1 Thus saith the Lord who built the heavens,
And bade the planets roll,
Who peopled all the climes of earth,
And formed the human soul: --

2 "Behold my Servant; see him rise
Exalted in my might;
Him have I chosen, and in him
I place supreme delight.

3 "On him, in rich effusion poured,
My spirit shall descend;
My truth and judgment he shall show
To earth's remotest end.

4 "The progress of his zeal and power
Shall never know decline,
Till foreign lands and distant isles
Receive the law divine."
