God the Conqueror King

Verse 1

O Zion, 'tis thy God's command That thou in strength securely stand; O God, confirm and strengthen still, Thy purposes in us fulfill.

Verse 2

O Thou, Whose glorious temple stands In Zion, famed through heathen lands, Kings shall thy power and glory see, And bring their presents unto Thee.

Verse 3

Thou wilt rebuke the fierce and strong Who hate the right and choose the wrong, And scatter those who peace abhor, The nations that delight in war.

Verse 4

The heathen princes yet shall flee From idols and return to Thee; Earth's sinful and benighted lands To God shall soon stretch out their hands.

Verse 5

Praise God and sing His matchless worth, Ye kings and kingdoms of the earth; He dwells within the heavenly height, And utters forth His voice of might.

Verse 6

Ascribe ye strength to God on high, His might transcendent fills the sky; His glory and omnipotence Remain His people's sure defense.

Verse 7

Forth from Thy dwelling-place, O God, Thy awful glory shines a-broad; Thy people's strength is all from Thee; Blest be Thy Name eternally.
