Justice Judgement - Chronicles Series (4)

Tune: Breslau

(\'Take up thy cross, the Saviour said\')

2 Chronicles 24 v.20-22

*******

The Spirit of God came upon

Zechariah, he was the son

Of Jehoiada the priest he

Had words unto the people, see

 

He said to them, Why you the word

Of the LORD, his commands you heard

You disobeyed, cannot prosper

The LORD has forsaken you sure

 

Because you have Him  forsaken

He has turned, has not you taken

Into his favour, so relent

And from your sins now true repent

 

But they against him did conspire

And did stone him with stones, it dire

At command of King Joash they

Did him kill, from good turned away

 

So King Joash remembered not

The kindness done, his pleasant lot

From Jehoiada, the father

of Zechariah, his son sure

 

But he slew his son, who did say

As he was dying, he did pray

Said, The LORD look on this, repay

The wrong here done to me this day
