Wherefore Do the Nations Rage

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Return of Christ; Return of Christ Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage and the people vainly dream that in triumph they can wage war against the LORD supreme? His Anointed they deride, and the rulers, plotting, say, "Their dominion be defied, let us cast their bonds away." 2 But the Lord will scorn them all; calm, he sits enthroned on high. Soon his wrath will on them fall; angered, he will then reply, "Yet according to my will I have set my King to reign, and on Zion's holy hill my Anointed I maintain." 3 My LORD speaks, "You are my Son; yes, I have begotten you. I will give you every one of the nations as your due. From your rule, now let them learn: break them with an iron rod, dash them like a potter's urn, crush those enemies of God." 4 Therefore, rulers, kings, come near, listen to God's holy word. Come with reverence, come with fear. Kiss the Son and serve the LORD, lest his anger quickly flame and you perish in your way. All are blest who trust in him; yes, supremely blest are they. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: MONSEY CHAPEL Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

Then I Saw a New Heaven and Earth

Author: Christopher M. Idle Meter: Irregular Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Return of Christ; Return of Christ Lyrics: 1 Then I saw a new heaven and earth, for the first had passed away; and the holy city came down from God like a bride on her wedding day. And I know how he loves his own, for I heard his great voice tell they would be his people, and he their God, and among them he came to dwell. 2 He will wipe away every tear; even death shall die at last. There'll be no more crying or grief or pain they belong to the world that's past. And the One on the throne said, "Look! I am making all things new." He is A and Z, he is first and last, and his words are exact and true. 3 So the thirsty can drink their fill at the fountain giving life. But the gates are shut on all evil things, on deceit and decay and strife. With foundations and walls and towers like a jewel, the city shines, with its streets of gold and its gates of pearl, in a glory where each combines. 4 As they measured its length and breadth I could see no temple there, for its only temple is God the Lord and the Lamb in that city fair. And it needs neither sun nor moon in a place which knows no night, for the city's lamp is the Lamb himself, and the glory of God its light. 5 And I saw by the sacred throne flowing water, crystal clear, and the tree of life with its healing leaves and its fruit growing all the year. So the worshipers of the Lamb bear his name and see his face, and they reign and serve and forever live to the praise of his glorious grace. Scripture: Revelation 21 Used With Tune: NEW HEAVEN
