Assert Thy Claims, O God!

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 83

Verse 1

Assert Thy claims, O God! Arouse Thy slumbering powers! And crush beneath Thy conquering rod, Thine enemies and ours.

Verse 2

The crafty and the strong, Conspire 'gainst Thee and Thine. O shield Thy hidden ones from wrong, And blast their foes' design.

Verse 3

O let the same right arm, That helped our fathers before, Preserve Thy people still from harm, And their faint hopes restore.

Verse 4

Let Thy prevailing Name, Throughout the earth be known; Put Satan and his hosts to shame, And glorify Thy own.
