O Clavis David: “O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel controlling at your will the gate of Heaven: Come, break down the prison walls of death for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death; and lead your captive people into freedom.” Isaiah had prophesied, AI will place the Key of the House of David on His shoulder; when he opens, no one will shut, when he shuts, no one will open.” (Isaiah 22:22), and “His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, from David’s throne, and over His kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever.” (9:6).
O Clavis David to “The sounds of Silence” (with apologies to Simon and Garfunkel)
O key of David, royal power
O royal power of Israel.
Come break down the prison walls of death,
For those in darkness and the shadow of death,
And lead your captive people into fre-ee-dom,
O key of David, royal power.
Isaiah once had prophesied,
That Adonai would place the key
Upon the shoulders of our God most high
And what he opens no human can close
What he closes, no one can open
O key of David, royal power.
The great I AM’s do-min-i-on
Is vast and endless as the sea
Forever peaceful and forever just
Filled with mercy and with glaad-ness,
David’s throne, God’s kingdom is forever sustained,
O key of David, royal power.
