Why Do the Nations Vainly Rage? - Psalm 2 ALLIANCE - Treasury 6

1. 1 Why do the nations vainly rage,
Conspiring together from age to age?
2 Earth’s kings and all their couns’lors stand
Against the LORD and His Right Hand:
2. 3 “Now let us cast His yoke below,
His Kingdom authority overthrow!
Cast off His law! Reject His Word!
No more be governed by this Lord!”
3. 4 The Lord in Heaven laughs in wrath
At all who embark on this cursed path.
5 His angry Word to them is plain:
6 “Yet shall My King in Zion reign!”
4. 7 Proclaim the message far and wide,
That God has exalted the Crucified!
8 From Heav’n He sent His only Son,
Who has for us salvation won!
5. 10 To Christ the Lord be given all
Who humbly embrace Him and on Him call.
Be wise, be warned: His judgment comes
To break the prideful, sinful ones.
6. 11 Rejoice with fear in Jesus’ grace,
And worship before His exalted face!
12 Beware His anger and judgment grim:
How blest are all who rest in Him!

Yeah, I didn't record all the stanzas, for the sake of my time and your attention span. I record tunes for other people to sing. Now that you know the tune, go ahead and sing it!
