Excellent Exaltation

Tune: Diademata

('Crown Him with many crowns')

Psalm 68 parts

***********

Let God arise, let His

Enemies be, true this

Scattered, and those that do Him hate

Flee before Him not late

As smoke driven away

O God, act in your day

Let them be so, and as melts wax

By heat, it not be lax

 

Let the righteous be glad

In Him, no longer sad

Let them rejoice before Him much

Enjoy His presence such

Exceeding celebrate

Wicked not mar their state

For the great God shall with them deal

And shall His people heal

 

Sing to God, sing praises

Each voice, tongue upraises

Worship to Him, does Him extol

He that rules over all

He upon heavens rides

None are like Him besides

His name JAH, JEHOVAH, the LORD

E'er faithful to His word

 

His whole triumphant host

Extends from coast to coast

His chariots twenty thousand

His power without end

Through wilderness he marched

And desert, though it parched

The earth shook, heavens did drop rain

At His presence again

 

He rides upon the clouds

His glory they enshrod

His voice is mighty o'er the earth

Speaks new things into birth

Ascribe unto Him strength

He God now and at length

He awesome, holy, excellent

Strength and power us sent
