Why thus enraged, ye tribes profane?
Why strive the Gentiles thus in vain?
Why, rous'd by discord's fierce alarms,
Do headlong nations rush to arms?
Earth's scepter'd lords rebellious rise
Against the ruler of the skies,
And him, on whose distinguish'd head
His hand the sacred oil has shed.
In factious counsels thus they join
And vaunting brave the pow'r divine:
'Quick let us each renounce their sway,
And cast their hated bands away.'
God from on high their threats shall hear,
Laugh as the tumult meets his ear,
And, arm'd with vengeance, thus aloud
Superior quell the frantic crowd:
'Yet, mortals, yet your monarch see
And bow to him the humble knee;
His throne on Sion's hill my hand
Has built, and what I build shall stand.'
