Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.LII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Why should the mighty make their boast,
And heav'nly grace despise?
In their own arm they put their trust,
And fill their mouth with lies.
2 But God in vengeance shall destroy,
And drive them from his face;
No more shall they his church annoy,
Nor find on earth a place.
3 But like a cultur'd olive grow,
Drest in immortal green,
Thy children blooming in thy love,
Amid thy courts are seen.
4 On thine eternal grace, O Lord,
Thy saints shall rest secure,
And all who trust thy holy word,
Shall find salvation sure. Topics: The Disappointment of the Wicked Scripture: Psalm 52 Languages: English
