Among th'assemblies of the great

Among th'assemblies of the great
A greater Ruler takes His seat
The God of Heav'n, as Judge, surveys,
The gods on earth, and all their ways.

Why will ye, then, frame wicked laws?
Or why support th'unrighteous cause?
When will ye once defend the poor,
That sinners vex the saints no more?

They know not, Lord, nor will they know
Dark are the ways in which they go
Their name of earthly gods is vain,
For they shall fall and die like men.

Arise, O Lord, and let Thy Son
Possess His universal throne,
And rule the nations with His rod,
He is our Judge, and He our God.
