EN 1221 Great God, Whose Universal Sway

Ps.72.1

Versi Version 1

1

Great God, whose universal sway

The known and unknown worlds obey,

Now give the kingdom to Thy Son,

Extend His power, exalt His throne.

2

Thy scepter well becomes His hands,

All Heav’n submits to His commands;

His justice shall avenge the poor,

And pride and rage prevail no more.

3

With power He vindicates the just,

And treads th’oppressor in the dust;

His worship and His fear shall last,

Till hours, and years, and time be past.

4

As rain on meadows newly mown,

So shall He send His influence down;

His grace on fainting souls distils,

Like heav’nly dew on thirsty hills.

5

The heathen lands that lie beneath

The shades of overspreading death,

Revive at His first dawning light,

And deserts blossom at the sight.

6

The saints shall flourish in His days,

Dressed in the robes of joy and praise

Peace, like a river from His throne,

Shall flow to nations yet unknown.
