Tune: Church Triumphant
('The Lord is King, lift up thy voice')
Psalm 75 parts
********
To you, O God, do we thanks give
You are the Lord, you ever live
How do we know your name is near?
'Tis that your wondrous works are here
The Lord says to fools*, O be wise (*boastful)
Your ways to me are no surprise
And to the wicked He does say
Be not haughty or proud today
For promotion, exaltation
Of any one, any nation
Comes not from east, west, south, or north
But from God the Judge it comes forth
Yes, He the Judge, He does put down
One, even one of high renown
And sets up another, does raise
One up, e'en humble in his/her ways
I will sing, praise to Him declare
For ever, He is just and fair
Strength of the wicked shall be gone
But righteous exalted, each one
This the Lord's doing, He Judge, King
Unto Him we our worship bring
He Omnipotent, Almighty
Eternally His reign shall be
