Christ Dying, Rising, Interceding, and Reigning

Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Glorification of Christ; Glorification of Christ First Line: Maker and sovereign Lord 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'd to slay Jesus, thine holy Child.] 3 Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews with one accord Join all their councils 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 rais'd him from the dead, Hath own'd him for his son. Pause. 6 Now he's ascended high, To rule the subject earth; The merit of his blood he pleads, And pleads his heavenly birth. 7 Beneath his sovereign sway The Gentile nations bend; Far as the world's remotest bounds, His kingdom shall extend. 8 The nations that rebel, Must feel his iron rod; He'll vindicate those honours well Which he receiv'd 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
