[Lord of hosts, our God and Lord]

They lifted up their voice to God with one, &c. —iv. 24–28.

Lord of hosts, our God and Lord,
To Thee we lift our voice,
Praise Thy name with one accord,
And in Thy strength rejoice:
Heaven is Thine, and earth, and sea,
The work of Thine Almighty hand,
Every creature made by Thee
Must bow to Thy command.
Thy prophetic word we find
Fulfill'd before our eyes,
Heathens still with Jews are join'd,
And kings and rulers rise;

179

Thee and Christ Thy Son to' oppose,
The lords of earth conspire again,
Rage the world of Jesus' foes,
But all their rage is vain.
Lo with furious malice wild
They rush impetuous on,
Leagued against Thy holy Child,
Thy dear anointed Son!
Successors to those of old,
Who when they nail'd Him to the tree,
Verified the thing foretold,
And answer'd Thy decree.
