View Lyrics
Why do the nations rage
against God's righteous reign,
assuming that the law
is some restrictive chain?
Enthroned on high, God hears their cry—
and knows their threats are all in vain.
For by divine decree
heav'n's purpose is made known:
God's one and only Son
now sits on Zion's throne;
His many foes He overthrows,
and claims the nations as His own.
Give honor to the Son:
be wise, and seek His face,
for those who spurn God's law
risk judgment and disgrace—
So come, draw near in rev'rent fear,
and He will be your hiding place.
against God's righteous reign,
assuming that the law
is some restrictive chain?
Enthroned on high, God hears their cry—
and knows their threats are all in vain.
For by divine decree
heav'n's purpose is made known:
God's one and only Son
now sits on Zion's throne;
His many foes He overthrows,
and claims the nations as His own.
Give honor to the Son:
be wise, and seek His face,
for those who spurn God's law
risk judgment and disgrace—
So come, draw near in rev'rent fear,
and He will be your hiding place.
