Lord, bring the day to pass

There where the judges gather

Author: Henry Zylstra, 1909-1956 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #51 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Social Concerns / Social Justice Lyrics: 1 There where the judges gather, a greater takes the seat; "How long," God asks the judges, "will you pronounce deceit? How long show special favour to those of ill repute? How long neglect the orphan, the poor and destitute? 2 Deal justly with the needy; protect the powerless; deliver the afflicted from those who would oppress, but you are surely blinded; you do not understand; therefore foundations totter; injustice rocks the land." 3 God speaks: "I named you rulers, to serve the Most High God, but you shall die as mortals and perish by my rod." Arise, O God, in judgement, your sovereignty make known, for yours are all the nations; the peoples are your own. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH
