Representative Text

1 Attend, O earth! God doth declare
His uncontrolled decree;
“Thou art My Son, this day, My heir.
Have I begotten Thee.

2 “Upon My holy Zion’s hill
My King I Thee ordain;
And though Thy foes dispute My will,
Thou shalt forever reign.

3 “Ask, and receive Thy full demands;
Thine shall the heathen be;
The utmost limit of the lands
Shall be possessed by Thee.

4 "Thy righteous scepter Thou shalt sway,
And all Thy foes command;
Just as the potter breaks the clay,
And molds it with his hand."

5 If but in part His anger rise,
Who can endure the flame?
Then blest are they whose hope relies
On His most holy name.
