1. Why do nations rage together
     why in vain do they conspire?
   Rulers of earth's vast dominions
     light the skies with martyrs' fires.
   Truth mistaken, God forsaken
     banes of righteousness arise;
   Yet shall they reap sore displeasure,
     sure defeat before God's eyes.

2. To the children of the promise
     God shall give his throne this day;
   With a scepter forged of iron
     they shall dash their foes as clay.
   Faith revealing, humbly kneeling,
     quench the fire and sheath the sword,
   For God's wrath is quickly kindled;
     blest are they who serve the Lord.
