Christ dying, rising, interceding, and reigning.
1 [Maker and sovereign Lord Of heaven, and earth, and seas, Thy providence confirms thy word, And answers thy decrees.
2 The things so long foretold By David are fulfill'd, When Jews and Gentiles join to slay Jesus, thine holy child.]
3 Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews with one accord Bend all their counsels to destroy Th' anointed of the Lord?
4 Rulers and kings agree To form a vain design; Against the Lord their powers unite, Against his Christ they join.
5 The Lord derides their rage, And will support his throne; He that hath rais'd him from the dead Hath own'd him for his Son.
