Unto My Lord Jehovah Said

lyricist: Irish Psalter, 1898
Composer: Arthur Page (1846–1916)

Unto my Lord Je­ho­vah said

At My right hand I throne Thee

Till at Thy feet

in tri­umph laid

Thy foes their rul­er crown Thee.

From Zi­on shall Je­ho­vah send

Thy scep­ter

till be­fore Thee bend

The knees of proud re­bell­ion.

Thy saints

to greet Thy day of might

In ho­ly rai­ment mus­ter;

As dew­drops in the morn­ing light

Thy youths around Thee clus­ter.

Jehovah swore and made de­cree

Thou

King of right­eous­ness

shalt be

A roy­al priest for­ev­er.

The Lord at Thy right hand shall bring

On rul­ers de­so­la­tion;

The Lord shall smite each hea­then king

And judge each re­bel na­tion.

He

swift­ly march­ing in His wrath

Shall quaff the brook up­on His path

And lift His head in glo­ry.
