His footsteps cannot err;
Before Him righteousness shall go,
His royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
Shall bud and blossom then;
And justice, from her heavenly bower,
Look down on mortal men.
3 Rise, God, judge Thou the earth in might,
This wicked earth redress;
For Thou art He who shall by right
The nations all possess.
4 For great Thou art, and wonders great
By Thy strong hand are done:
Thou in Thy everlasting seat
Remainest God alone.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Coming in Glory; Christ Second Coming, His; Coming in Glory Scripture: Psalm 82 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS
