|
| | Psalm 68 |
| 1. | God shall rise, His foes be scattered, |
| | All that hate Him flee away. |
| | As the wax before the fire, |
| | All the wicked He shall slay. |
| | But the righteous shall rejoice |
| | With a loud, triumphant voice, |
| | Singing praises, singing praises, |
| | Singing praises unto God! |
| 2. | He is riding through the deserts, |
| | Bringing in His saints in need. |
| | He's a Father to the orphans |
| | And a refuge tried indeed |
| | In His habitation- |
| | What wonderful salvation! |
| | Hallelujah, hallelujah! |
| | Hallelujah! Amen! |
| 3. | Here the lone have found a family, |
| | Here the desolate a home; |
| | Prisoners are brought from bondage |
| | To prosperity unknown. |
| | For the flock-what wondrous grace- |
| | God prepared this dwelling place: |
| | Hallelujah, hallelujah, |
| | Hallelujah, Amen! |
| 4. | Now the Lord in mighty triumph |
| | Sends the news of victory; |
| | We the "women" spread the tidings- |
| | "Kings of armies flee, they flee!" |
| | No more sweat and dreary toil; |
| | We at home divide the spoil! |
| | Hallelujah, hallelujah, |
| | Hallelujah, Amen! |
| 5. | Lo, on high Christ hath ascended, |
| | Leading captives in His train; |
| | These as gifts He has perfected |
| | That the Lord may dwell with them. |
| | Brothers, sisters, we are those, |
| | We're those transformed, vanquished foes! |
| | Hallelujah, hallelujah, |
| | Hallelujah, Amen! |
| 6. | Blessed be the Lord forever: |
| | Day by day He loads with good, |
| | E'en the God of our salvation- |
| | Spread His worthy praise abroad. |
| | His the goings forth from death, |
| | Every foe He conquereth! |
| | Hallelujah, hallelujah, |
| | Hallelujah, Amen! |
| 7. | They have seen O God, Thy goings |
| | In Thy holy dwelling place, |
| | Thy triumphant, high processions |
| | Midst a mighty voice of praise. |
| | See the singers go before, |
| | Praising, praising o'er and o'er: |
| | Hallelujah, hallelujah! |
| | Hallelujah! Amen! |
| 8. | Little Benjamin is leading, |
| | Then great Judah's company: |
| | Son of sorrow at God's right hand, |
| | Lion with the scepter see. |
| | Zebulun and Naphtali |
| | Make the joyful tiding fly: |
| | Hallelujah, hallelujah! |
| | Hallelujah! Amen! |
| 9. | Saints, thy strength has been commanded |
| | >From the temple glorious; |
| | Still we pray that God may strengthen |
| | All that He has wrought for us. |
| | Higher yet our praises shall rise |
| | Till the utmost earth replies: |
| | Hallelujah, hallelujah! |
| | Hallelujah! Amen! |
