Psalter Hymnal (Blue) ‎#122

122. Let God Arise, and by His Might

1 Let God arise, and by His might
Let all His foes be put to to flight;
But O ye righteous, gladly sing,
Exult before your God and King.

2 Jehovah's praises sound abroad,
Rejoice before the living God;
Prepare the way that He may come
And make the desert places bloom.

3 A Father of the fatherless,
A Judge of widows in distress,
Is God, the God of boundless grace,
Who dwells within His holy place.

4 God frees the captive and He sends
The blessedness of home and friends,
And only those in darkness stay
Who will not trust Him and obey.

5 O Zion, 'tis thy God's command
That thou in strength securely stand;
O God, confirm and strengthen still,
Thy purposes in us fulfill.

6 O Thou, whose glorious temple stands
In Zion, famed through heathen lands,
Kings shall Thy power and glory see,
And bring their presents unto Thee.

7 Thou wilt rebuke the fierce and strong
Who hate the right and choose the wrong,
And scatter those who peace abhor,
The nations that delight in war.

8 The heathen princes yet shall flee
From idols and return to Thee;
Earth's sinful and benighted lands
To God shall soon stretch out their hands.
