Where’er His Creatures Gather

Where’er His crea­tures ga­ther

The un­seen God is near;

Let rul­ers fear their rul­er

Their judge let judg­es fear.

How long

ye earth­ly judg­es

Will ye per­vert the right?

How long shall wick­ed per­sons

Have fa­vor in your sight?

Do jus­tice for the help­less

The or­phan’s cause main­tain.

Defend the poor and needy

Oppressed and wronged for gain.

When rul­ers walk in dark­ness

When judg­es truth for­sake

The cor­ner­stones are crum­bled

The firm foun­da­tions shake.

The most high God has called you

And set you up on high

But ye to Him must an­swer

For ye like men must die.

Arise

O God eter­nal

Thou Judge of all the earth

Through all Thy ran­somed na­tions

Send now Thy jus­tice forth.
