Second Psalm
Second Part.
Ask, O my Son, and I will give
To Thee each tribe and nation;
And by Thy power, they shall be
Raised up from degradation.
To Thee each tribe and nation;
And by Thy power, they shall be
Raised up from degradation.
Thy rod shall surely heathen break,
And dash them all asunder;
And then, my Son, Thy glorious reign
Shall cause the world to wonder.
And dash them all asunder;
And then, my Son, Thy glorious reign
Shall cause the world to wonder.
Let all the earthly kings be wise,
And, from all evil turning,
Let judges, too, instructed be,
And find in Thee their learning.
And, from all evil turning,
Let judges, too, instructed be,
And find in Thee their learning.
16
With fear the earth shall serve the Lord,
In love shall they assemble;
Shall bow and worship at His feet,
And each rejoice and tremble.
In love shall they assemble;
Shall bow and worship at His feet,
And each rejoice and tremble.
Kiss ye the Son all earthly hosts,
And to Him be returning;
Lest ye shall perish by the way,
Whene'er His wrath is burning.
And to Him be returning;
Lest ye shall perish by the way,
Whene'er His wrath is burning.
The faithful then shall blessed be,
Whose hearts are free from wav'ring;
Who trusted in the “Holy One,”
Who is His people saving.
Whose hearts are free from wav'ring;
Who trusted in the “Holy One,”
Who is His people saving.
May 6, 1877.
