Maker and Sov'reign Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Maker and sov’reign 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 join’d 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. Used With Tune: DONCASTER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Greet His approach, ye saints, again, With hymns of holy joy. 2 The everlasting Son Incarnate deigns to be; Our God the form of slave puts on A race of slaves to free. 3 Daughter of Sion, rise To meet thy lowly king, Nor let the faithless heart despise The peace He comes to bring. 4 As judge in clouds of light, He soon shall come again, And all His scattered saints unite With Him in Heav’n to reign. 5 Before that dreadful day May all our sins be gone; The old man all be put away, The new man all put on. 6 Jesu, all praise to Thee, Our joy and endless rest; We pray Thee here our guide to be, Our crown amid the blest.
