The Lord Will Come and Not Be Slow
Author: John Milton, 1608-1684 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 82:8 Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come and not be slow,
his footsteps cannot err;
before him righteousness shall go,
his royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flow'r,
shall bud and blossom then,
and justice, from her heav'nly bow'r,
look down on mortal men.
3 Rise, God, and judge the earth in might,
this wicked earth redress;
for you are he who shall by right
the nations all possess.
4 For great you are, and wonders great
by your strong hand are done:
you in your everlasting seat
remain the Lord alone.

The Lord Will Come and Not Be Slow
Psalm 82
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 82 First Line: Among th' assemblies of the great Lyrics:
Among th' assemblies of the great
A greater Ruler takes his seat;
The God of heav'n, as Judge, surveys
Those gods on earth, and all their ways.
Why will ye, then, frame wicked laws?
Or why support th' unrighteous cause?
When will ye once defend the poor,
That sinners vex the saints no more?
They know not, Lord, nor will they know;
Dark are the ways in which they go;
Their name of earthly gods is vain,
For they shall fall and die like men.
Arise, O Lord, and let thy Son
Possess his universal throne,
And rule the nations with his rod;
He is our Judge, and he our God.

Judge Eternal, throned in splendor
Author: Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 108 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 82 Lyrics: 1 Judge Eternal, throned in splendour,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with your living fire of judgement
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of your wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release;
and the city's crowded clangour
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O God, your own endeavour;
cleave our darkness with your sword;
feed the faithless and the hungry
with the richness of your word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord. Topics: Our Response to God in intercession and petition; The Church Celebrates National Life; God in judgement and justice; Nation and Society; Word of God Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
Judge Eternal, throned in splendor
God in the great Assembly stands
Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 82 Lyrics: 1 God in the great Assembly stands,
where his impartial Eye
In State surveys the earthen Gods,
and does their Judgments try.
2,3 How Dare ye then unjustly judge,
or be to sinners kind?
Defend the Orphans, and the Poor:
let such your Justice find.
4 Protect the humble helpless Man
reduc'd to deep Distress,
And let not him become a Prey
to such as would oppress.
5 They neither know, nor will they learn,
but blindly rove and stray:
Justice and Truth, the world's great Props,
thro' all the Land decay.
6 Well then might God in Anger say,
"I've call'd ye by my Name:
"I've said y'are God's, the Sons and Heirs
"of my immortal Fame:
7 "But ne'ertheless your unjust Deeds
"to strict Account I'll call:
"You all shall die like common Men,
"like other Tyrants fall."
8 Arise, and thy just Judgments, Lord,
throughout the Earth display;
And all the Nations of the world
shall own thy righteous Sway.

Responsibility of Civil Officers
Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 82 First Line: Where'er His creatures gather Lyrics: 1 Where'er His creatures gather
The unseen God is near;
Let rulers fear their Ruler,
Their Judge let judges fear.
How long, ye earthly judges,
Will ye pervert the right?
How long shall wicked persons
Have favor in your sight?
2 Do justice for the helpless,
The orphan's cause maintain;
Defend the poor and needy,
Oppressed and wronged for gain.
When rulers walk in darkness,
When judges truth forsake,
The cornerstones are crumbled,
The firm foundations shake.
3 The Most High God has called you
And set you up on high,
But ye to Him must answer,
For ye like men must die.
Arise, O God Eternal,
Thou Judge of all the earth,
Thro' all Thy ransomed nations
Send now Thy justice forth. Topics: Civil Magistracy; Nations Dependence on God; Nations Present Attitude of; Orphans; The Poor Duty Towards; Royalty of Christ Civil Rulers in Relation to; Royalty of Christ Ultimate Acknowledgement of; Rulers Duties of; Rulers Wicked Used With Tune: ALGIERS

We Give Thee but Thine Own
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 477 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 82:3 Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own,
whate’er the gift may be;
all that we have is thine alone,
a trust, O Lord, from thee.
2 May we thy bounties thus
as stewards true receive,
and gladly, as thou blessest us,
to thee our first-fruits give.
3 To comfort and to bless,
to find a balm for woe,
to tend the lone and orphaned ones
is angels’ work below.
4 The captive to release,
to God the lost to bring,
to teach the way of life and peace,
it is a Christ-like thing.
5 And we believe thy word,
though dim our faith may be;
whate’er for thine we do, O Lord,
we do it unto thee.
