Psalms 2:1-6

• [Psa 2:1] O Wherefore Do The Nations Rage?

  O wherefore do the nations rage, And kings and rulers strive in vain, Against the Lord of earth and Heav’n To overthrow Messiah’s reign? Their strength is weakness in the sight Of Him Who sits enthroned above; He speaks, and judgments fall on them Who tempt His wrath and scorn His love. By God’s decree His Son receives The nations for His heritage; The conqu’ring Christ supreme shall reign As King of kings, from age to age. Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, And serve the Lord with godly fear; With reverent joy confess the Son While yet in mercy He is near. Delay not, lest His anger rise, And ye should perish in your way; Lo, all that put their trust in Him Are blest indeed, and blest for aye.

• [Psa 2:1] Wherefore Do The Nations Rage

  Wherefore do the nations rage, And the people vainly dream, That in triumph they can wage War against the Lord supreme? His Anointed they deride, And the rulers plotting say: Their dominion be defied, Let us cast their bonds away. But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Angered then He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion’s holy hill Mine Anointed I maintain. This the word declared to me, This Jehovah’s firm decree: Thou art my belovèd Son, Yea, I have begotten Thee. Ask and have Thy full demands, Thine shall all the heathen be, Thine the utmost of the lands, They shall be possessed of Thee. Dash them like a potter’s urn, Thou shalt break them with a rod. Therefore, kings and judges, learn Anxiously to serve your God. Kiss the Son and worship Him, Lest ye perish in the way; Blest are all who trust in Him, Yea, supremely blest are they.

• [Psa 2:1] Why Did The Gentiles Tumults Raise?

  Why did the Gentiles tumults raise? What rage was in their brain? Why do the people still contrive A thing that is but vain? The kings and rulers of the earth Conspire and are all bent Against the Lord, and Christ His Son, Whom He among us sent. Shall we be bound to them? Say they, Let all Their bonds be broke; And of Their doctrine and Their law Let us reject the yoke. But He that in the Heav’n doth dwell, Their doings will deride; And make them all as mocking-stocks Throughout the world so wide. For in His wrath He shall reprove Their pride and scornful way, And in His fury trouble them, And unto them shall say, I have anointed Him My King Upon My holy hill; I will therefore, Lord, preach Thy law According to Thy will: The law whereof the Lord Himself Hath thus said unto Me, Thou art My only Son, this day Have I begotten Thee. The people I will give to Thee, As heirs at Thy request The ends and coasts of all the earth By Thee shall be possessed. Thou shalt them bruise e’en like to those That under foot are trod, And as a potter’s vessel break Them with an iron rod. Now ye, O kings and rulers all, Be wise therefore and learned, By who the matters of the world Are judged and discerned. See that ye serve the Lord above In trembling and in fear; See that with reverence ye rejoice When ye to Him draw near: See that ye do embrace and kiss His Son without delay; Lest in His wrath ye suddenly Perish from the right way. If once His wrath (but little) shall Be kindled in His breast, Then only they that trust in Him Shall happy be and blest.

• [Psa 2:1] Why Did The Jews Proclaim Their Rage?

  Why did the Jews proclaim their rage? The Romans, why their swords employ? Against the Lord their powers engage, His dear Anointed to destroy? “Come, let us break His bands,” they say; “This Man shall never give us laws”: And thus they cast His yoke away, And nail’d the Monarch to the cross. But God, who high in glory reigns, Laughs at their pride, their rage controls; He’ll vex their hearts with inward pains, And speak in thunder to their souls. “I will maintain the King I made On Zion’s everlasting hill; My hand shall bring Him from the dead, And He shall stand your Sov’reign still.” His wondrous rising from the earth Makes His eternal Godhead known; The Lord declares His heav’nly birth— “This day I have begot My Son. “Ascend, My Son, to My right hand, There Thou shalt ask, and I bestow, The utmost bounds of heathen lands; To Thee the northern isles shall bow.” But nations that resist His grace Shall fall beneath His iron stroke; His rod shall crush His foes with ease, As potters’ earthen work is broke. Now, ye that sit on earthly thrones, Be wise, and serve the Lord, the Lamb; Now at His feet submit your crowns, Rejoice and tremble at His Name. With humble love address the Son, Lest He grow angry, and ye die; His wrath will burn to worlds unknown, If ye provoke His jealousy. His storms shall drive you quick to hell; He is a God, and ye but dust; Happy the souls that know Him well, And make His grace their only trust.

• [Psa 2:1] With Restless And Ungoverned Rage

  With restless and ungoverned rage Why do the heathen storm? Why in such rash attempts engage, As they can ne’er perform? The great in counsel and in might Their various forces bring; Against the Lord they all unite, And His anointed King. “Must we submit to their commands?” Presumptuously they say; “No, let us break Their slavish bands, And cast Their chains away.” But God, who sits enthroned on high, And sees how they combine, Does their conspiring strength defy, And mocks their vain design. Thick clouds of wrath divine shall break On His rebellious foes; And thus will He in thunder speak To all that dare oppose: “Though madly you dispute My will, The King that I ordain, Whose throne is fixed on Zion’s hill, Shall there securely reign.” Attend, O earth, whilst I declare God’s uncontrolled decree; “Thou art my Son, this day My Heir Have I begotten Thee. “Ask and receive Thy full demands; Thine shall the heathen be; The utmost limits of the lands Shall be possessed by Thee. Thy threat’ning scepter Thou shalt shake, And crush them every where; As massy bars of iron break The potter’s brittle ware.” Learn then, ye princes, and give ear, Ye judges of the earth; Worship the Lord with holy fear; Rejoice with awful mirth. Appease the Son with due respect, Your timely homage pay; Lest He revenge the bold neglect, Incensed by your delay. If but in part His anger rise, Who can endure the flame? Then blest are they whose hope relies On His most holy Name.

• [Mat 2:2] King Might Miss The Guiding Star, A

  A king might miss the guiding star, A wise man’s foot might stumble; For Bethlehem is very far From all except the humble. ’Tis Christmas Day! ’Tis Christmas Day! And Christian hearts are humble. Some pilgrims seek a hallowed shrine; Some soldiers march to danger; Some travelers seek an inn—its sign “The Baby in a manger.” When Christ was born on Christmas morn, They laid Him in a manger. There is no palace in that place, Nor any seat of learning, No hilltop vision of God’s face, No altar candles burning: O come and see our Christmas tree And Christmas candles burning. But he who gets to Bethlehem Shall hear the oxen lowing; And, if he humbly kneel with them, May catch far trumpets blowing; From far away, on Christmas Day, May hear God’s trumpets blowing.

  On the brow of night there shines a silver star, On the brow of night there shines a silver star, And the wise men gaze on its heav’nly rays, Till they find the King, whose throne they sought afar, In the Babe of Bethlehem. Refrain Silver star, holy light, Shine afar, o’er the night, Till the world shall come where the young Child lay, And enter the gates of the newborn day. ’Tis the lamp of God high hanging in the air, ’Tis the lamp of God high hanging in the air, And it guides our feet thro’ the royal street; There is sweet soul-rest for those who seek it there, From the Babe of Bethlehem. Refrain Bring your gifts of gold, of frankincense and myrrh, Bring your gifts of gold, of frankincense and myrrh, For the King we own is on David’s throne; Let the holy Child your best affections stir; ’Tis the Babe of Bethlehem.

  Whence comes this rush of wings afar, Following straight the Noël star? Birds from the woods in wondrous flight, Bethlehem seek this holy night. “Tell us, ye birds, why come ye here, Into this stable, poor and drear?” “Hast’ning we seek the newborn King, And all our sweetest music bring.” Hark how the greenfinch bears his part, Philomel, too, with tender heart, Chants from her leafy dark retreat, Re, mi, fa, sol, in accents sweet. Angels and shepherds, birds of the sky, Come where the Son of God doth lie; Christ on the earth with man doth dwell, Join in the shout, “Noël, Noël!”

• [Mat 2:2] Where Is The Holy Heav’n-born Child?

  Where is the holy Heav’n-born Child, Heir of the everlasting throne, Who Heav’n and earth hath reconciled, And God and man rejoined in one? Shall we of earthly kings inquire, To courts or palaces repair? The nation’s Hope, the world’s Desire, Alas! we cannot find Him there. Shall learning show the sinner’s Friend, Or scribes a sight of Christ afford? Us to His natal place they send, But never go to see their Lord. We search the outward Church in vain, They cannot Him we seek declare, They have not found the Son of Man, Or known the sacred Name they bear. Then let us turn no more aside, But use the light Himself imparts, His Spirit is our surest Guide, His Spirit glimmering in our hearts. Drawn by His grace we come from far, And fix on Heav’n our wistful eyes, That ray divine, that orient star Directs us where the Infant lies. See there! the newborn Savior see, By faith discern the great I AM; ’Tis He! the eternal God! ’tis He That bears the mild Immanuel’s Name. The Prince of Peace on earth is found, The Child is born, the Son is giv’n; Tell it to all the nations round, Jehovah is come down from Heav’n! Jehovah is come down to raise His dying creatures from their fall, And all may now receive the grace Which brings eternal life to all. Lord, we receive the grace and Thee, With joy unspeakable receive, And rise Thine open face to see, And one with God for ever live.

  Shine calm and bright, ye moonbeams light, O’er Bethle’em’s town in slumber, O’er young and old, o’er burgess bold, And guests in goodly number; For sheltered safe from winter’s frost, Well housed and warm all lie, Secure from snow in street below, And screened from frozen sky. But Babe benign! No couch is Thine, Save lowly manger stall, Where cold winds blow on Thy form divine, Who comest to save us all. The crowds who sleep in Bethle’em’s walls Both citizen and stranger, From royal blood alike have sprung, And spurn the humble manger. But all one day must wend their way, Heaving their latest sigh, To mortal doom in lonesome tomb, And in corruption lie. But Babe benign! No power malign Shall over Thee bear sway; Thy life of light in the heavens bright Shall glow in eternal day! To us, sweet Babe! Thy lowly crib Than costly couch is dearer, It seems to make Thee more our own, To bring the Godhead nearer! It seems to show Thy sympathy For human grief and pain, And makes us long to raise the song Of Noel o’er again! O Babe benign! Thy love divine Shed round us, day by day; Sweet Child of light! Be Thou our might, Our gentle King for aye!

  The kings of the east are riding Tonight to Bethlehem; The sunset glows dividing, The kings of the east are riding, A star their journey guiding, Gleaming with gold and gem. The kings of the east are riding Tonight to Bethlehem. To a strange sweet harp of Zion The starry host troops forth: The golden-glaived Orion To a strange sweet harp of Zion, The Archer and the Lion, The Watcher of the north: To a strange sweet harp of Zion The starry host sweeps forth. There beams above a manger The child-face of a star; Amid the stars a stranger, It beams above a manger, What means this ether-ranger To pause where poor folk are?

As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger bed There to bend the knee before Him Whom Heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy seat.

Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
