Above the firmament, Christ is enthroned, Satan’s dominion is far, far below. Each measurement of God’s building He knows, In midst of Israel, His possession. |

Though they dispersed, Christ was with Israel, Measured Jerus’lem to gain her in full; As Shoot of David, God’s temple He’ll build, He’ll be a Priest and o’er all nations rule. |

As Son of Man, He’s with Israel involved, With us as well: we His oneness enjoy; He’s stock of Israel exalted by God, He’ll gain the Kingdom, enemies destroy. |

Christ as revealed in the New Testament Came in the flesh; Son of Man now is He! Fulfillment of God’s economy, All carried out in Christ’s humanity. |
