Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CXI (1766) Lyrics: 1 Zion rejoice, and Judah sing,
The Lord assumes his Throne;
Let Britain own the heav'nly King,
And make his Glories known.
2 The Great, the Wicked, and the Proud,
From their high Seats are hurl'd;
Jehovah rides upon a Cloud,
And thunders through the World.
3 He reigns upon th' eternal Hills,
Distributes mortal Crowns,
Empires are fix'd beneath his Smiles,
And totter at his Frowns.
4 Navies that rule the Ocean wide
Are vanquish'd by his Breath;
And Legions arm'd with Pow'r and Pride
Descend to wat'ry Death.
5 Let Tyrants make no more Pretence
To vex our happy Land;
Jehovah's Name is our Defence,
Our Buckler is his Hand.
[6 Long may the King, our Sov'reign, live,
To rule us by thy Word,
And all the Honours he can give,
Be offer'd to the Lord.] Topics: National Mercies and Thanks; Sinful Pleasure forsaken; God; God's Dominion and our Deliverance; Thanksgiving for Victory Languages: English
