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.
