Psalm 110

...od hath pronounced a firm decree,
Nor changes what he swore:
"Eternal shall thy priesthood be,
When Aaron is no more.

"Melchizedek, that wondrous priest,
That king of high degree,
That holy man who Abraham blessed,
Was but a type of thee."

Jesus our Priest for ever lives
To plead for us above;
Jesus our King for ever gives
The blessings of his love.

God shall exalt his glorious head,
And his high throne maintain;
Shall strike the powers and princes dead
Who dare oppose his...Read more of this...

We look from Alfred's eyes,
We know he saw athwart the wreck
The sign that hangs about your neck,
Where One more than Melchizedek
Is dead and never dies.

Therefore I bring these rhymes to you
Who brought the cross to me,

Two Men

...f all mankind 
That I should like to know about; 
But search and question where I will, 
I cannot ever find them out. 

Melchizedek he praised the Lord, 
And gave some wine to Abraham; 
But who can tell what else he did 
Must be more learned than I am. 

Ucalegon he lost his house 
When Agamemnon came to Troy; 
But who can tell me who he was -- 
I'll pray the gods to give him joy. 

There be two men of all mankind 
That I'm forever thinking on: 
They chase me everywhere I go,...Read more of this...
