Psalm 68 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 165 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:17-18 First Line: Lord, when thou didst ascend on high Lyrics:
Lord, when thou didst ascend on high,
Ten thousand angels filled the sky;
Those heav'nly guards around thee wait,
Like chariots that attend thy state.
Not Sinai's mountain could appear
More glorious when the Lord was there;
While he pronounced his dreadful law,
And struck the chosen tribes with awe.
How bright the triumph none can tell,
When the rebellious powers of hell,
That thousand souls had captive made,
Were all in chains like captives led.
Raised by his Father to the throne,
He sent the promised Spirit down
With gifts and grace for rebel men,
That God might dwell on earth again.

Psalm 68 Part 2
Psalm 68 Part 3
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:19 First Line: We bless the Lord, the just, the good Lyrics:
We bless the Lord, the just, the good,
Who fills our hearts with joy and food:
Who pours his blessings from the skies,
And loads our days with rich supplies.
He sends the sun his circuit round,
To cheer the fruits, to warm the ground;
He bids the clouds with plenteous rain
Refresh the thirsty earth again.
'Tis to his care we owe our breath,
And all our near escapes from death;
Safety and health to God belong;
He heals the weak, and guards the strong.
He makes the saint and sinner prove
The common blessings of his love;
But the wide diff'rence that remains,
Is endless joy, or endless pains.
The Lord, that bruised the serpent's head,
On all the serpent's seed shall tread;
The stubborn sinner's hope confound,
And smite him with a lasting wound.
But his right hand his saints shall raise
From the deep earth, or deeper seas,
And bring them to his courts above;
There shall they taste his special love.

Psalm 68 Part 3
Psalm 68 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:1-6 First Line: Let God arise in all his might Lyrics:
Let God arise in all his might,
And put the troops of hell to flight,
As smoke that sought to cloud the skies
Before the rising tempest flies.
[He comes arrayed in burning flames
Justice and Vengeance are his names:
Behold his fainting foes expire,
Like melting wax before the fire.]
He rides and thunders through the sky;
His name, Jehovah, sounds on high
Sing to his name, ye sons of grace;
Ye saints, rejoice before his face.
The widow and the fatherless
Fly to his aid in sharp distress;
In him the poor and helpless find
A Judge that's just, a Father kind.
He breaks the captive's heavy chain,
And prisoners see the light again;
But rebels that dispute his will
Shall dwell in chains and darkness still.
Kingdoms and thrones to God belong;
Crown him, ye nations, in your song:
His wondrous names and powers rehearse;
His honors shall enrich your verse.
He shakes the heav'ns with loud alarms;
How terrible is God in arms!
In Isr'el are his mercies known,
Isr'el is his peculiar throne.
Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest;
He's your defence, your joy, your rest:
When terrors rise and nations faint,
God is the strength of every saint.

Kingdoms and thrones to God belong
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,200 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:19 Lyrics:
1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of God's unchanging love!
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Johann Jacob Schütz Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 194 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:19 Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul is filled,
and every faithless murmur stilled:
to God all praise and glory!
2 What God’s almighty power has made
God's gracious mercy keepeth;
by morning glow or evening shade
God's watchful eye ne'er sleepeth.
Within the kingdom of God's might,
lo! all is just and all is right:
to God all praise and glory!
3 The Lord is never far away,
but, through all grief distressing,
an ever-present help and stay,
our peace and joy and blessing,
as with a mother's tender hand
God gently leads the chosen band:
to God all praise and glory!
4 Thus all my toilsome way along
I sing aloud thy praises,
that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises.
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart;
both soul and body, take your part:
to God all praise and glory!

The Lord Ascendeth Up on High
Author: Arthur T. Russell Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:18 Lyrics: 1 The Lord ascendeth up on high,
the Lord hath triumphed gloriously,
in power and might excelling;
the grave and hell are captive led,
lo! he returns, our glorious Head,
to his eternal dwelling.
2 The heavens with joy receive their Lord,
by saints, by angel hosts adored;
O day of exultation!
O earth, adore thy glorious King!
His rising, his ascension sing
with grateful adoration!
3 Our great High Priest hath gone before,
now on his church his grace to pour;
and still his love he giveth;
O may our hearts to him ascend;
may all within us upward tend
to him who ever liveth!

The Lord Ascendeth Up on High
Let God, the God of battle, rise
Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68 Lyrics: 1 Let God, the God of Battle, rise,
And scatter His presumptuous Foes;
Let shameful Rout their Host surprise,
Who spitefully His Pow'r oppose.
2 As Smoke in Tempests Rage is lost,
Or Wax into the Furnace cast;
So let their sacrilegious Host
Before His wrathful Presence waste.
3 But let the Servants of His Will
His Favour's gentle Beams enjoy;
Their upright Hearts let Gladness fill,
And chearful Songs their Tongues employ.
4 To Him your Voice in Anthems raise:
JEHOVAH's awful Name He bears:
In Him rejoice; extol His Praise,
Who rides upon high-rolling Spheres.
5 Him, from His Empire of the Skies,
To this low World Compassion draws,
The Orphan's Claim to patronize
And judge the injur'd Widow's Cause.
6 'Tis God, who from a foreign Soil
Restores poor Exiles to their Home;
Makes Captives free; and fruitless Toil,
Their proud Oppressors righteous Doom.
7 'Twas so of old, when Thou didst lead
In Person, Lord, our Armies forth;
Strange Terrors thro' the Desert spread,
Convulsions shook th' astonish'd Earth.
8 The breaking Clouds did Rain distill,
And Heav'n's high Arches shook with Fear;
How then should Sinai's humble Hill
Of Israel's God the Presence bear!
9 Thy Hand, at famish'd Earth's Complaint,
Reliev'd her from celestial Stores;
And, when thy Heritage was faint,
Asswag'd the Drought with plenteous Show'rs.
10 Where Savages had rang'd before,
At Ease Thou mad'st our Tribes reside;
And in the Desert for the Poor,
Thy generous Bounty did provide.
Part II
11 Thou gav'st the word; we sallied forth,
And in that pow'rful word o'ercame;
whilst Virgin-troops, with Songs of Mirth,
In State our conquest did proclaim.
12 Vast Armies, by such Gen'rals led,
As yet had ne'er receiv'd a Foil,
Forsook their Camp with sudden Dread,
And to our Women left the Spoil.
13 Though Egypt's Drudges you have been,
Your Army's Wings shall shine as bright,
As Doves in golden Sunshine seen,
Or silver'd o'er with paler Light.
14 'Twas so, when God's Almighty Hand
O'er scatter'd Kings the Conquest won;
Our Troops, drawn up on Jordan's Strand,
High Salmon's glitt'ring snow outshone.
15 From thence to Jordan's farther Coast,
And Bashan's Hill, we did advance:
No more her Height shall Bashan boast,
But that she's God's Inheritance.
16 But wherefore (tho' the Honour's great)
Should this, O Mountain, swell your Pride?
For Sion is His chosen Seat,
Where He for ever will reside.
17 His Chariot's numberless; His Pow'rs
Are heav'nly Hosts, that wait His Will:
His Presence now fill Sion's Tow'rs,
As once it honour'd Sinai's Hill.
18 Ascending high, in Triumph Thou
Captivity hast captive led;
And on thy People didst bestow
The Spoil of Armies, once their Dread.
Ev'n Rebels shall partake thy Grace,
And humble Proselytes repair
To worship at thy Dwelling-place,
And all the World pay Homage there.
19 For Benefits each Day bestow'd,
Be daily His great Name ador'd;
20 Who is our Saviour, and our God,
Of Life and Death the Sov'reign Lord.
21 But Justice for His harden'd Foes
Proportion'd Vengeance hath decreed,
To wound the hoary Head of those
Who in presumptuous Crimes proceed.
22 The Lord has thus in Thunder spoke:
"As I subdu'd prous Bashan's King,
"Once more I'll break my People's Yoke,
"And from the Deep my Servants bring.
23 "Their Feet shall with a crimson Flood
"Of slaughter'd Foes be cover'd o'er;
"Nor Earth receive such impious Blood,
"But leave for Dogs th' unhallow'd Gore."
Part III
24 When, marching to thy blest Abode,
The wond'rous Multitude survey'd
The pompous State of Thee, our God,
In Robes of Majesty array'd;
25 Sweet-singing Levites led the Van;
Loud Instruments brought up the Rear;
Between both Troops a Virgin-Train
With Voice and Timbrel charm'd the Ear.
26 This was the Burden of their Song:
"In full Assemblies bless the Lord;
"All who to Israel's Tribes belong,
"The God of Israel's Praise record."
27 Nor little Benjamin alone
From neighb'ring Bounds did there attend.
Nor only Judah's nearer Throne
Her Counsellors in State did send;
But Zebulon's remoter Seat,
And Napthli's more distant Coast,
(The grand Procession to complete)
Sent up their Tribes, a princely Host.
28 Thus God to Strength and Union brought
Our Tribes, at Strife till that blest Hour.
This Work, which Thou, O God, hast wrought.
Confirm with fresh Recruits of Pow'r.
29 To visit Salem, Lord, descend,
And Sion thy terrestrial Throne;
Where Kings with Presents shall attend,
And Thee with offer'd Crowns atone.
30 Break down the Spearmens Ranks, who threat
Like pamper'd Herds of savage Might:
Their silver-armour'd Chiefs defeat,
Who in destructive War delight.
31 Egypt shall then to God stretch forth
Her Hands, and Africk Homage bring:
32 The scatter'd Kingdoms of the Earth
Their common Sov'reign's Praises sing;
33 Who, mounted on the loftiest Sphere
Of antient Heav'n, sublimely rides;
From whence His dreadful Voice we hear,
Like that of warring Winds and Tides.
34 Ascribe ye Pow'r to God most High:
Of humble Israel He takes care;
Whose Strength, from out the dusky Sky,
Darts shining Terrors through the Air.
35 How dreadful are the sacred Courts,
Where God has fix'd his earthly Throne!
His Strength His feeble Saints supports:
To God give Praise, to HIm alone.
Let God, the God of battle, rise
See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68:18 Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph;
see the King in royal state,
riding on the clouds, his chariot,
to his heav'nly palace gate:
Hark! the choirs of angel voices
joyful Alleluias sing,
and the portals high are lifted
to receive their heav'nly King.
2 Who is this that comes in glory,
with the trump of jubilee?
Lord of battles, God of armies,
he has gained the victory;
he who on the cross did suffer,
he who from the grave arose,
he has vanquished sin and Satan,
he by death has spoiled his foes.
3 You have raised our human nature
in the clouds to God's right hand;
there we sit in heav'nly places,
there with you in glory stand:
Jesus reigns, adored by angels,
man with God is on the throne;
mighty Lord, in your ascension
we by faith behold our own.
