Tune/Song: Men of Harlech
Psalm 68 v.1-8
Note: The Chorus is after every two verses, not after every verse.
************
Sing to God, sing to Him praises
Every heart and voice upraises
Extol Him that rides upon high
Upon heavens sky
Praise His name, it be JEHOVAH
He has triumphed His foes over
Rejoice before Him and worship
True in deed and lip* - Chorus
(*word)
Chorus
Let God arise, let be
Enemies scattered, see
Let them also that Him hate
Flee away before Him great
As the smoke is driven away
And a wax melts without delay
Before he fire, so the wicked
At God's presence fled
But let the righteous be glad, let
Them rejoice before God e'en yet
Yes, let them exceeding rejoice
Praise Him with one voice
He does defend the fatherless
And as a father He does bless
Brings justice to widows, needy
Puts down proud, greedy - Chorus
He does help the lonely, brings friends
And by His power them defends
When he went before His people
He marched with them all
Through the exodus from Egypt
He was with His people, them kept
The earth shook, the heavens dropped rain
Over desert plain - Chorus
