Church Hymn Book ‎#P.LXXXII

P.LXXXII. Among th'assemblies of the great

1 Among th'assemblies of the great
A greater ruler takes his seat;
The God of heav'n as Judge surveys
Those gods on earth and all their ways.

2 Why will ye frame oppressive laws?
Or why support th'unrighteous cause?
When will ye once defend the poor,
That foes may vex the saints no more?

3 They know not, Lord, nor will they know;
Dark are the way in which they go;
Their name of earthly gods is vain
For they shall fall and die like men.

4 Arise, O Lord, and let thy Son
Possess his universal throne,
And rule the nations with his rod;
He is our Judge, and he our God.
