Arise, O God—With Just Disdain

lyricist: Josiah Pratt’s Collection, 1829
Composer: Dmitri Bortniansky, 1825

Arise

O God—with just dis­dain

The ang­er of Thy foes re­strain!

To judg­ment wake—on Thy com­mand

Justice and truth se­cure­ly stand.

So shall Thy peo­ple round Thy seat

In ho­ly crowds

re­joic­ing meet:

And since on Thee our hopes re­ly

Return

and fix Thy pow­er on high.
