Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P2a (1766) Topics: Christ his sufferings and kingdom; Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom; Gentiles given to Christ; Resurrection and death of Christ; Submission to Christ; Christ Dying; Christ Interceding; Christ Reigning Lyrics: 1 [Maker and Sovereign Lord
Of Heaven, and Earth, and Seas,
Thy Providence confirms thy Word,
And answers thy Decrees.
2 The Things so long foretold
By David are fulfill'd,
When Jews and Gentiles join to slay
Jesus, thine only 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 Pow'rs unite,
Against his Christ they join.
5 The Lord derides their Rage,
And will support his Throne;
He that hath rais'd him from the Dead,
Hath own'd 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 Honours 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 blessed is the Soul that flies
For Refuge to his Grace.] Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English
