Psalm 72 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,802 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 First Line: Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Lyrics:
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
[Behold the islands with their kings,
And Europe her best tribute brings;
From north to south the princes meet,
To pay their homage at his feet.
There Persia, glorious to behold,
There India shines in eastern gold;
And barb'rous nations at his word
Submit, and bow, and own their Lord.]
For him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown his head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.
Blessings abound where'er he reigns,
The pris'ner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
[Where he displays his healing power
Death and the curse are known no more;
In him the tribes of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost.
Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the long Amen.]

Psalm 72 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 First Line: Great God, whose universal sway Lyrics:
Great God, whose universal sway
The known and unknown worlds obey,
Now give the kingdom to thy Son,
Extend his power, exalt his throne.
Thy sceptre well becomes his hands,
All heav'n submits to his commands;
His justice shall avenge the poor,
And pride and rage prevail no more.
With power be vindicates the just,
And treads th' oppressor in the dust;
His worship and his fear shall last,
Till hours, and years, and time be past.
As rain on meadows newly mown,
So shall he send his influence down;
His grace on fainting souls distils,
Like heav'nly dew on thirsty hills.
The heathen lands that lie beneath
The shades of overspreading death,
Revive at his first dawning light,
And deserts blossom at the sight.
The saints shall flourish in his days,
Dressed in the robes of joy and praise
Peace, like a river from his throne,
Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

Psalm 72: O Lord, thy judgments give the king
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 First Line: O Lord, thy judgments give the king Lyrics:
1O Lord, thy judgments give the king,
his son thy righteousness.
2With right he shall thy people judge,
thy poor with uprightness.
3The lofty mountains shall bring forth
unto the people peace;
Likewise the little hills the same
shall do by righteousness.
4The people’s poor ones he shall judge,
the needy’s children save;
And those shall he in pieces break
who them oppressed have.
5They shall thee fear, while sun and moon
do last, through ages all.
6Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,
or show’rs on earth that fall.
7The just shall flourish in his days,
and prosper in his reign:
He shall, while doth the moon endure,
abundant peace maintain.
8His large and great dominion shall
from sea to sea extend:
It from the river shall reach forth
unto earth’s utmost end.
9They in the wilderness that dwell
bow down before him must;
And they that are his enemies
shall lick the very dust.
10The kings of Tarshish, and the isles,
to him shall presents bring;
And unto him shall offer gifts
Sheba’s and Seba’s king.
11Yea, all the mighty kings on earth
before him down shall fall;
And all the nations of the world
do service to him shall.
12For he the needy shall preserve,
when he to him doth call;
The poor also, and him that hath
no help of man at all.
13The poor man and the indigent
in mercy he shall spare;
He shall preserve alive the souls
of those that needy are.
14Both from deceit and violence
their soul he shall set free;
And in his sight right precious
and dear their blood shall be.
15Yea, he shall live, and giv’n to him
shall be of Sheba’s gold:
For him still shall they pray, and he
shall daily be extoll’d.
16Of corn an handful in the earth
on tops of mountains high,
With prosp’rous fruit shall shake, like trees
on Lebanon that be.
The city shall be flourishing,
her citizens abound
In number shall, like to the grass
that grows upon the ground.
17His name for ever shall endure;
last like the sun it shall:
Men shall be bless’d in him, and bless’d
all nations shall him call.
18Now blessed be the Lord our God,
the God of Israel,
For he alone doth wondrous works,
in glory that excel.
19And blessed be his glorious name
to all eternity:
The whole earth let his glory fill.
Amen, so let it be.

Christ Shall Have Dominion
Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:8-19 Lyrics: 1 Christ shall have dominion over land and sea;

all the weak and helpless shall his pity know.
He will surely save them from oppression's might,
for their lives are precious in his holy sight.
3 Ever and forever shall his name endure;
long as suns continue it shall stand secure.
And in him forever nations shall be blest,
and all peoples hail him King of kings confessed.
4 Unto God Almighty joyful Zion sings;
he alone is glorious, doing wondrous things.
Evermore, O people, bless his glorious name,
his eternal glory through the earth proclaim.

Through all eternity.

And lives that death may die.

Behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified.

Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.

Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end;
And round his piercèd feet
Fair flow'rs of Paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.

The risen Lord sublime,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
The master of all time.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For you have died for me;
Your praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.

Psalm 72: Every Nation on Earth
Lord, let thy just Decrees the King
Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics: 1 Lord, let thy just Decrees the King
in all his Ways direct;
And let his Son, throughout his Reign,
thy righteous Laws respect.
2 So shall he still thy People judge
with pure and upright Mind,
Whilst all the helpless Poor shall him
their just Protector find.
3 Then Hills and Mountains shall bring forth
the happy Fruits of Peace;
Which all the Land shall own to be
the work of Righteousness:
4 Whilst he the poor and needy Race
shall rule with gentle Sway,
And from their humble Necks shall take
oppressive Yokes away.
5 In ev'ry Heart, thy awful Fear
shall then be rooted fast,
As long as Sun and Moon endure,
or Time itself shall last.
6 He shall descend like Rain, that chears
the Meadows second Birth;
Or like warm Show'rs, whose gentle Drops
refresh the thirsty Earth.
7 In his blest Days the Just and Good
shall be with Favour crown'd;
The happy Land shall ev'ry-where
with endless Peace abound.
8 His uncontroul'd Dominion shall
from Sea to Sea extend;
Begin at proud Euphrate's Streams,
at Nature's Limits end.
9 To him the savage Nations round
shall bow their servile Heads:
His vanquish'd Foes shall lick the Dust
where he his Conquest spreads.
10 The Kings of Tarshish, and the Isles,
shall costly Presents bring;
From spicy Sheba Gifts shall come,
and wealthy Saba's King.
11 To him shall ev'ry King on Earth
his humble Homage pay;
And diff'ring Nations gladly join
to own his righteous Sway.
12 For he shall set the Needy free,
when they for Succour cry;
Shall save the Helpless, and the Poor,
and all their Wants supply.
Part II
13 His Providence, for needy Souls,
shall due Supplies prepare;
And over their defenceless Lives
shall watch with tender Care.
14 He shall preserve and keep their souls
from Fraud and Rapine free;
And in his sight their guiltless Blood
of mighty Price shall be.
15 Therefore shall God his Life and Reign
to many Years extend;
Whilst Eastern Princes Tribute pay,
and golden Presents send.
For him shall constant Pray'rs be made
thro' all his prosp'rous Days:
His just Dominion shall afford
a lasting Theme of Praise.
16 Of useful Grain, through all the Land,
great Plenty shall appear:
A Handful sown on Mountain-tops
a mighty Crop shall bear:
Its Fruit, like Cedars shook by Winds,
a rattling Noise shall yield:
The City too shall thrive, and vie,
for Plenty, with the Field.
17 The Mem'ry of his glorious Name
thro' endless Years shall run;
His spotless Fame shall shine as bright
and lasting as the Sun.
In him the Nations of the World
shall be completely bless'd,
And his unbounded Happiness
by ev'ry Tongue confess'd.
18 Then bless'd be God, the mighty Lord,
the God whom Israel fears;
Who only wond'rous in his Works,
beyond Compare, appears.
19 Let Earth be with His Glory fill'd;
for ever bless His Name;
Whilst to His Praise the list'ning World
their glad Assent proclaim.
Lord, let thy just Decrees the King

dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining;
low lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
odours of Edom, and offerings divine,
gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favour secure:
richer by far is the heart's adoration,
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.

can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.

in full obedience to our Lord:
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread Christ's liberating word.

Abide with Me

The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see.
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Comfort; Evening; Funeral; Grace; LIVING AND DYING IN CHRIST Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,627 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:10 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary, rest.
3 O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
4 How weak the effort of my heart,
how cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
5 Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death.

the cross shines forth in mystic glow;
where he in flesh, or flesh who made,
our sentence bore, our ransom paid.
2 There whilst he hung, his sacred side
by soldier's spear was opened wide,
to cleanse us in the precious flood
of water mingled with his blood.
3 Fulfilled is now what David told
in true prophetic song of old,
how God the nations' King should be;
for God is reigning on the tree.
4 O tree of glory, tree most fair,
ordained those holy limbs to bear,
how bright in purple robe it stood,
the purple of a Saviour's blood!
5 Upon its arms, like balance true,
he weighed the price for sinners due,
the price which none but he could pay,
and spoiled the spoiler of his prey.
6 To thee, eternal Three in One,
let homage meet by all be done:
as by the cross thou dost restore,
so rule and guide us evermore. Amen. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Lent V Year A; Lent V Year C Used With Tune: VEXILLA REGIS

Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:10-11 Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer--
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus, our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names, and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found and known and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendor,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name:
Joy of each day, our song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures,
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were:
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany Used With Tune: NEUMARK

A Psalm for Solomon
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 First Line: O God, Thy judgments give the King Lyrics: 1 O GOD, Thy judgments give the KING,
Thy righteousness give to his SON:
2 Then he'll thy people rightly judge
And to thy poor see justice done.
3 The mountains shall abundantly
To all the people bring forth peace;
The little hills abound
With joyful fruits of righteousness.
4 Poor of the people he will judge,
And children of the needy save:
He will to pieces break all those
Who with their fraud oppressed have.
5 They shall Thee fear while sun and moon
Endure, thro' generations all:
6 Like rain on mown grass he will come,
As show'rs on earth distilling fall.
7 The righteous shall lift up their heads,
Rejoyce and flourish in his reign;
And till the moon to shine shall cease,
He will abundant peace maintain.
8 His great and bless'd dominion shall
Abroad from sea to sea extend;
and from the river it shall reach
Quite to the earth's remotest end.
9 They in the wilderness who dwell,
In homage bow before him must;
His foes shall, falling at his feet,
In low prostration lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and the Isles,
To him shall costly presents bring;
Sheba's, and Seba's kings their gifts
To him as their superior King.
11 Yea all the kings throughout the earth,
To him shall bow, and homage pay;
And all the nations of the world
Shall Him as the supream obey.
12 Because he will the needy save,
When they to him for succour call,
Those who afflicted are, and those,
Who have no human help at all.
13 The feeble and necessitous,
He will in tender pity spare;
He will preserve and save the souls
Of those who poor and needy are.
14 Their souls from fraud and violence
His pow'r and mercy will redeem;
And in his eyes their blood shall be
Of precious worth and high esteem.
15 Long shall he live; and they shall bring
To him of Sheba's finest gold:
Pray'rs shall be always made for him,
And daily he shall be extoll'd.
16 Of corn an handful in the earth
Tho' on the tops of mountains sown,
The fruit shall rise, increase and wave
Like the tall trees of Lebanon.
And they who in the city dwell
Shall greatly flourish and abound,
In numbers like the fertile grass,
Which grows upon the richest ground.
17 His name for ever shall endure,
And shall continue as the sun;
In him all nations shall be blest,
And him proclaim the BLESSED ONE.
18 O let JEHOVAH blessed be,
The GOD, the God of Israel:
For by Himself alone he works
Such things as wond'rous are to tell.
19 O let his glorious name be bless'd
Eternal as his happy reign:
And let his glory fill the earth:
Repeat aloud, AMEN, AMEN.

18 O let the LORD GOD blessed be,

Deus judicium
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 First Line: Lord give thy judgements to the King Lyrics: 1 Lord give thy judgements to the King
therein instruct him well:
And with his sonne that princely thing,
Lord let thy justice dwell.
2 That he may governe uprightly,
and rule thy folk aright:
And so defend through equity,
the poore that have no might.
3 And let the mountaines that are hie,
unto thy folk give peace:
And eke let little hils apply,
in justice to increase.
4 That he may help the weak and poore
with aide, and make them strong:
And eke destroy for evermore,
all those that do them wrong.
5 And then from age to age shall they
regard and fear thy might:
So long as Sun doth shine by day,
or else the Moone by night.
6 Lord make the King unto the just,
like raine to fields new mown:
And like to drops that lay the dust,
refreshing land new sowne.
7 The just shall flourish in his time,
and all shall be at peace:
Untill the Moone shall leave to prime,
waste, change and to increase.
8 He shall be Lord of sea and land,
from shore to shore throughout:
And from the flouds within the land,
through all the earth about.
9 The people that in desarts dwell,
Shall kneele to him full thick:
And all his enemies that rebell,
the earth and dust shall lick.
10 The lords of all the Iles thereby,
great gifts to him shall bring:
The Kings of Saba and Arabie,
give many a costly thing.
The second Part:
11 All kings shall seek with one accord,
in his good grace to stand:
And all the people of the world,
shall serve him at his hand.
12 For he the needy sort doth save
that unto him do call:
And eke the simple folk that have
no help of man at all.
13 He taketh pity on the poore,
that are with need opprest:
He doth preserve them evermore,
and bring their soules to rest.
14 He shall redeem their souls from dread
from fraud, from wrong, and might:
And eke the blood that they shall bleed
is precious in his sight.
15 But he shall live and they shall bring
to him of Sabaes gold:
He shall be honoured as a King,
and daily be extold.
16 The mighty mountaines of his land
of corne shall bear such throng:
That it like Cedar trees shall stand,
in Libanus full long.
17 Their Cities eke full well shall speed,
the fruits thereof shall passe:
In plenty it shall far exceed,
and spring as green as grasse.
18 For ever they shall praise his Name,
while that the Sun is light:
And think them happy through the same
all folk shall blesse his might.
19 Praise ye the Lord of hosts, and sing
to Israels God each one:
For he doth every wondrous thing,
yea he himself alone.
20 And blessed be his holy Name
all times eternally:
That all the earth may praise the same,
Amen, Amen, say I.
