Thomas Ravenscroft - Why did the Gentiles tumults raise - текст песни (слова)

Why did the Gentiles tumults raise?
 What rage was in their brain?
 Why do the people still contrive
 A thing that is but vain?
 T
 he kings and rulers of the earth
 Conspire and are all bent
 Against the Lord, and Christ His Son,
 Whom He among us sent.
 
 Shall we be bound to them? Say they,
 Let all Their bonds be broke;
 And of Their doctrine and Their law
 Let us reject the yoke.
 
 But He that in the Heav'n doth dwell,
 Their doings will deride;
 And make them all as mocking-stocks
 Throughout the world so wide.
 
 For in His wrath He shall reprove
 Their pride and scornful way,
 And in His fury trouble them,
 And unto them shall say,
 
 I have anointed Him My King
 Upon My holy hill;
 I will therefore, Lord, preach Thy law
 According to Thy will:
 
 The law whereof the Lord Himself
 Hath thus said unto Me,
 Thou art My only Son, this day
 Have I begotten Thee.
 
 The people I will give to Thee,
 As heirs at Thy request
 The ends and coasts of all the earth
 By Thee shall be possessed.
 
 Thou shalt them bruise e'en like to those
 That under foot are trod,
 And as a potter's vessel break
 Them with an iron rod.
 
 Now ye, O kings and rulers all,
 Be wise therefore and learned,
 By who the matters of the world
 Are judged and discerned.
 
 See that ye serve the Lord above
 In trembling and in fear;
 See that with reverence ye rejoice
 When ye to Him draw near:
 
 See that ye do embrace and kiss
 His Son without delay;
 Lest in His wrath ye suddenly
 Perish from the right way.
 
 If once His wrath (but little) shall
 Be kindled in His breast,
 Then only they that trust in Him
 Shall happy be and blest.
