EN 429 Maker and Sov’reign Lord

Ps.2.12

Versi Version 1

1

Maker and sov’reign Lord

Of Heav’n, and earth, and seas,

Thy providence confirms Thy Word,

And answers Thy decrees.

2

The things so long foretold

By David are fulfilled,

When Jews and Gentiles join’d to slay

Jesus, Thine holy Child.

3

Why did the Gentiles rage,

And Jews, with one accord,

Bend all their counsels to destroy

Th’Anointed of the Lord?

4

Rulers and kings agree

To form a vain design;

Against the Lord their powers unite

Against His Christ they join.

5

The Lord derides their rage,

And will support His throne;

He that hath rais’d Him from the dead

Hath own’d Him for His Son.

6

Now He’s ascended high,

And asks to rule the earth;

The merit of His blood He pleads,

And pleads His heav’nly birth.

7

He asks, and God bestows

A large inheritance;

Far as the world’s remotest ends

His kingdom shall advance.

8

The nations that rebel

Must feel His iron rod;

He’ll vindicate those honors well

Which He receiv’d from God.

9

Be wise, ye rulers, now,

And worship at His throne;

With trembling joy, ye people, bow

To God’s exalted Son.

10

If once His wrath arise,

Ye perish on the place;

Then blessed is the soul that flies

For refuge to His grace.
