1. Why do nations rage together
why in vain do they conspire?
Rulers of earth's vast dominions
light the skies with martyrs' fires.
Truth mistaken, God forsaken
banes of righteousness arise;
Yet shall they reap sore displeasure,
sure defeat before God's eyes.

2. To the children of the promise
God shall give his throne this day;
With a scepter forged of iron
they shall dash their foes as clay.
Faith revealing, humbly kneeling,
quench the fire and sheath the sword,
For God's wrath is quickly kindled;
blest are they who serve the Lord.
