Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #314 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fear of God Lyrics: 1 O wherefore do the nations rage,
and kings and rulers strive in vain,
against the Lord of earth and heav'n
to overthrow Messiah's reign?
2 Their strength is weakness in the sight
of him who sits enthroned above;
he speaks, and judgments fall on them
who tempt his wrath and scorn his love.
3 By God's decree his Son receives
the nations for his heritage;
the conqu'ring Christ supreme shall reign
as King of kings, from age to age.
4 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth,
and serve the Lord with godly fear;
with rev'rent joy confess the Son
while yet in mercy he is near.
5 Delay not, lest his anger rise,
and ye should perish in your way;
lo, all that put their trust in him
are blest indeed, and blest alway. Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English Tune Title: SAXONY
