Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Among th’assemblies of the great Lyrics: 1 Among th’assemblies of the great
A greater ruler takes His seat;
The God of Heav’n, as judge, surveys,
The gods on earth, and all their ways.
2 Why will ye, then, frame wicked laws?
Or why support th’unrighteous cause?
When will ye once defend the poor,
That sinners vex the saints no more?
3 They know not, Lord, nor will they know;
Dark are the ways 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. Used With Tune: BABYLON'S STREAMS Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
