LyicsTHE Lord ascends on high,
To rule the spacious earth;
The merit of his blood he pleads--
And pleads his heavenly birth.
The nations that rebel,
Must feel his iron rod;
He'll vindicate those honors well,
Which he received from God.
Be wise, you rulers, now,
And worship at his throne:
With trembling joy, you Princes bow
To God's exalted Son.
It once his wrath arise,
You perish on the place:
But blessed is the soul that flies
For refuge to his grace.
