Thurlow Weed - Psalm 2 Why do nations rage together - текст песни (слова)

1. Why do nations rage together
      why in vain do they conspire?
    Rulers of earth's vast dominions
      light the skies with martyrs' fires.
    Truth mistaken, God forsaken
      banes of righteousness arise;
    Yet shall they reap sore displeasure,
      sure defeat before God's eyes.
 
 2. To the children of the promise
      God shall give his throne this day;
    With a scepter forged of iron
      they shall dash their foes as clay.
    Faith revealing, humbly kneeling, 
      quench the fire and sheath the sword,
    For God's wrath is quickly kindled;
      blest are they who serve the Lord.
