Lyics

THE 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.
