Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.LXXXII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Among th'assemblies of the great
A greater ruler takes his seat;
The God of heav'n as Judge surveys
Those gods on earth and all their ways.
2 Why will ye frame oppressive laws?
Or why support th'unrighteous cause?
When will ye once defend the poor,
That foes may vex the saints no more?
3 They know not, Lord, nor will they know;
Dark are the way in which they go;
Their name of earthly gods is vain
For they shall fall and die like men.
4 Arise, O Lord, and let thy Son
Possess his universal throne,
And rule the nations with his rod;
He is our Judge, and he our God. Topics: God the Supreme Governor Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English
