Analysis of Majestic Might
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Let God arise to scatter foe,
Those who hate Him shall flee away;
Because of His wrath, they do know,
Since Satan made them disobey.
For as smoke has driven away,
The wax melts before the fire;
The wicked perish since they stray,
Upon their earthly desire.
But the justified shall be glad,
As they rejoice exalting God;
Jubilant with joy and not sad,
While they still honor and laud.
Sing praise to the name of the Lord,
Lift up a song throughout the land;
His name can never be ignored,
As well as what He does command.
Father unto all the orphans,
And protector of the widows;
Comfort to relieve their burdens,
While their joyous praise bellows.
God sets the lonely at home.
Leads captives to prosperity;
Stop the rebellious where they roam,
When confessed stops iniquity.
