Metaphor in Context
The true heavenly David give,
The just and loving One,
After Thine own heart, to live,
And fix in us His throne:
When on every soul bestow'd,
He comes, and saves us from our sins,
Father, then Thou art our God,
And Jesus is our Prince.
(vol. II, p. 46 in 1762 ed.)

And Jesus is our Prince.
