With Restless and Ungoverned Rage
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 8 Lyrics: 1. With restless and ungoverned rage
Why do the heathen storm?
Why in such rash attempts engage,
As they can ne’er perform?
2. The great in counsel and in might
Their various forces bring;
Against the Lord they all unite,
And His anointed king.
3. Must we submit to Their commands?
Presumptuously they say;
No, let us break Their slavish bands,
And cast Their chains away.
4. But God, who sits enthroned on high,
And sees how they combine,
Does their conspiring strength defy,
And mocks their vain design.
5. Thick clouds of wrath divine shall break
On His rebellious foes;
And thus will He in thunder speak
To all that dare oppose:
6. Though madly you dispute My will,
The king that I ordain,
Whose throne is fixed on Zion’s hill,
Shall there securely reign.
7. Attend, O earth, whilst I declare
God’s uncontrolled decree;
“Thou art my Son, this day My heir
Have I begotten Thee.
8. “Ask and receive Thy full demands;
Thine shall the heathen be;
The utmost limits of the lands
Shall be possessed by Thee.
9. Thy threat’ning scepter Thou shalt shake,
And crush them every where;
As massy bars of iron break
The potter’s brittle ware.
10. Learn then, ye princes, and give ear,
Ye judges of the earth;
Worship the Lord with holy fear;
Rejoice with awful mirth.
11. Appease the Son with due respect,
Your timely homage pay;
Lest He revenge the bold neglect,
Incensed by your delay.
12. If but in part His anger rise,
Who can endure the flame?
Then blest are they whose hope relies
On His most holy name. Used With Tune: POWER Text Sources: A New Version of the Psalms of David, by Nahum Tate & Nicholas Brady, 1698

Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Author of "With restless and ungoverned rage" in A Selection of Psalms and Hymns for the Use of the Diocese of Nova Scotia. 3rd ed. Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.

Joseph Barnby
1838 - 1896 Person Name: Joseph Barnby, 1838-1896 Composer of "POWER" in The Cyber Hymnal Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873).
