Maker and Sov'reign Lord


I
Maker and sov�reign Lord
Of Heav�n, and earth, and seas,
Thy providence confirms Thy Word,
And answers Thy decrees.

The things so long foretold
By David are fulfill�d,
When Jews and Gentiles join�d to slay
Jesus, Thine holy Child.

Why did the Gentiles rage,
And Jews, with one accord,
Bend all their counsels to destroy
Th�Anointed of the Lord?

Rulers and kings agree
To form a vain design;
Against the Lord their powers unite
Against His Christ they join.

The Lord derides their rage,
And will support His throne;
He that hath rais�d Him from the dead
Hath own�d Him for His Son.

Now He�s ascended high,
And asks to rule the earth;
The merit of His blood He pleads,
And pleads His heav�nly birth.

He asks, and God bestows
A large inheritance;
Far as the world�s remotest ends
His kingdom shall advance.

The nations that rebel
Must feel His iron rod;
He�ll vindicate those honors well
Which He receiv�d from God.

Be wise, ye rulers, now,
And worship at His throne;
With trembling joy, ye people, bow
To God�s exalted Son.

If once His wrath arise,
Ye perish on the place;
Then bless�d is the soul that flies
For refuge to His grace.
