Why Did the Jews Proclaim Their Rage? (EN 425)

EN 425 Why Did the Jews Proclaim Their Rage?

Ps.2.1

Versi Version 1

1

Why did the Jews proclaim their rage?

The Romans, why their swords employ?

Against the Lord their powers engage,

His dear Anointed to destroy?

2

“Come, let us break His bands,” they say;

“This Man shall never give us laws”:

And thus they cast His yoke away,

And nail’d the Monarch to the cross.

3

But God, who high in glory reigns,

Laughs at their pride, their rage controls;

He’ll vex their hearts with inward pains,

And speak in thunder to their souls.

4

“I will maintain the King I made

On Zion’s everlasting hill;

My hand shall bring Him from the dead,

And He shall stand your Sov’reign still.”

5

His wondrous rising from the earth

Makes His eternal Godhead known;

The Lord declares His heav’nly birth—

“This day I have begot My Son.

6

“Ascend, My Son, to My right hand,

There Thou shalt ask, and I bestow,

The utmost bounds of heathen lands;

To Thee the northern isles shall bow.”

7

But nations that resist His grace

Shall fall beneath His iron stroke;

His rod shall crush His foes with ease,

As potters’ earthen work is broke.

8

Now, ye that sit on earthly thrones,

Be wise, and serve the Lord, the Lamb;

Now at His feet submit your crowns,

Rejoice and tremble at His Name.

9

With humble love address the Son,

Lest He grow angry, and ye die;

His wrath will burn to worlds unknown,

If ye provoke His jealousy.

10

His storms shall drive you quick to hell;

He is a God, and ye but dust;

Happy the souls that know Him well,

And make His grace their only trust.
