Why is it that we see the heathen raging,
And joining all together in accord?
The kings of earth have taken wicked council
Against the holy people of the Lord.
Saying, "We will cast away their bondage from us!
We will do away with all restraint
Through a war of progressive attrition,
And we will bring complaint after complaint!
We will cry and scream 'Discrimination!'
Until we have extinguished all dissent.
We will do away with all things Christian,
And until then, we will not be content!"
And then the Lord who sitteth in the Heavens
Will look on them and then laugh them to scorn.
He will vex them in His sore displeasure,
And at His wrath will all the nations mourn.
God will give His Son a holy people,
According to the pleasure of His will,
And by a firm, eternal declaration,
Set His King upon His Holy Hill.
For the LORD hast spoken it unto Me,
"I will now declare My firm decree:
Thou art Mine own Son, I am Thy Father,
For this day have I begotten Thee!
Ask of Me, My Son! What shall I give Thee?
I give to Thee the whole earth to possess,
And Thou wilt full subdue and rule it with Me,
Reigning in Thy Truth and Righteousness!"
Christ will break the nations into pieces,
For He will rule them with an iron rod,
And He will reign supreme over all people
In holiness and in the fear of God.
Be wise therefore, oh kings, and be instructed!
Serve the LORD with trembling and fear!
Honor Jesus, lest He become angry,
And you perish quickly on His spear!
Blessed are they that trust His precious pardon!
Blessed are they that put their faith in Him!
He will be their Lamplight in the darkness!
He will be a Sword and Shield for them!
Christ shall reign forever and forever,
And of His Kingdom, there will be no end.
Come render your repentance and your worship,
To whom each head shall bow and knee shall bend!
