The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Psalms 110:1-4,

Oh, my Lord Jesus, how terrible it is that the prince of this world shall dwell in man and hold him captive through sin! I thank Thee from the depths of my heart that Thou hast made me meet to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light; that Thou hast delivered me out of the power of darkness and translated me into Thy Kingdom, by which I am saved and redeemed through Thy blood, and by which Thou hast entered into a new covenant with me. O Lord, grant that I may always remain steadfast therein and never lose Thy grace. Gather ever more souls into Thy Kingdom. Write us as Thy citizens in the book of Thy celestial city, yea, in Thy hands. Sustain us that we may remain forever in Thy Kingdom, who in baptism have had our names written in Thy book, entered into covenant and compact with Thee and promised Thee faithfulness.

O come. Thou King of grace, into my heart and quiet all unrest there. Fill my life with Thy grace that Thou mayest in heaven fill me with Thy eternal glory. Give unto Thy people power, strength and victory over all their spiritual and temporal enemies and make us partakers of the glory of Thy Kingdom, when Thou comest in Thy great power and glory, and all the holy angels with Thee. Fulfill then even on us these Thy joyful words, ’’Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given me, be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory," and. ’’Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. "

Let me be Thine forever.

Thou faithful God and Lord,

May I forsake Thee never.

Nor wander from Thy word;

Keep me from error’s mazes.

Lord, give me constancy,

And I will sing Thy praises

Through all eternity.
