[The nation that thy laws disdains]

For the nation and kingdom that will not, &c. —lx. 12.

The nation that thy laws disdains,
The kings who will not Christ adore,
God over all when Jesus reigns,
Shall perish by His glorious power;
Not man's anathemas or sword
Cut off the souls who Christ deny,
But from the presence of the Lord
Cast out, they must for ever die.
