Psalms 20:2. Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
And you know how there came, from yonder heavenly Jerusalem, an angel strengthening him. The celestial messenger stood. at his side amidst the gloom of the olive garden, and brought him comfort and succor from God’s right hand.
His earnest prayers. his deepening groans,
Were heard before angelic thrones;
Amazement wrapt the sky:
‘Go, strengthen Christ!’ the Father said:
The astonished seraph bow’d his head
And left the realms on high.
