Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11167 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Maker and sovereign 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 joined 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 raised Him from the dead
Hath owned 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 received 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 blessèd is the soul that flies
For refuge to His grace. Languages: English Tune Title: DONCASTER
