Majestic Might

Tune: Stuttgart

('Earth has many a noble city')

Psalm 76 v.1-6

******

In Judah is God known, He be

King in royal state, now see

His name is great in Israel

Come, let all the peoples tell

 

In Jerusalem His tent be

Tabernacle, firm, truly

In mount Zion is His dwelling

He Lord over everything

 

There He broke the weapons of war

Violence and oppression sore

Bow and shield and sword and battle

At His command they cease all

 

You O LORD are more glorious

Than the mountains, us do bless

The stout-hearted are spoilt, they sleep

They did not pray, nor watch keep

 

And men of might did not prevail

Their works were of no avail

At your rebuke, God of Israel

You triumphed o'er Egypt all

 

For they [Egyptians] the Red Sea did not cross

But were plundered, suffered loss

Your people [Israelites] did go through, dry land

You made the sea by your hand (Spirit)
