Powerful Presence

Tune: Cranbrook (aka On Ilkley Moor)

(\'one tune: O for a thousand tongues to sing\')

Psalm 68 v.1-8

First line of each verse has optional repeat of last 3 syllables.

********

Let God arise, let enemies {enemies}

Let them all scattered be

Let them also that hate Him flee

Before His face, so be

As smoke is driven, drive away {drive away}

His enemies today

And as wax before fire does melt

They perish, so \'tis dealt

But let the righteous e\'er be glad {e\'er be glad}

Need be no longer sad

Yes, let them before God rejoice

Yes, let them before god rejoice

Exceedingly, Him voice

Sing praise to God, unto His name {to His name}

Extol Him of great fame

He that upon the heavens rides

He JAH (Jehovah) and none besides

He JAH and none besides

He Father of the fatherless {fatherless}

Widows defends, does bless

He God, He is in His holy

Habitation, now see

God sets the lonely in a place {in a place}

In families, His grace

Brings out those who with chains are bound

So joyful praise abounds

But rebellious in dry land {in dry land}

Do dwell, heavy God\'s hand

Is there, but He led His people

Through great wilderness all

Victory procession, He thus marched {He thus marched}

Through wilderness, though parched

They were there, yet He provided

Water from rock, them led

The earth shook, the heavens dropped rain {heavens dropped rain}

At sight, God\'s aweful train

Even Sinai, it was moved

At His presence there proved

At his presence there proved
