|  |  | Psalm 68 | 
|  | 1. | God shall rise, His foes be scattered, | 
|  |  | All that hate Him flee away. | 
|  |  | As the wax before the fire, | 
|  |  | All the wicked He shall slay. | 
|  |  | But the righteous shall rejoice | 
|  |  | With a loud, triumphant voice, | 
|  |  | Singing praises, singing praises, | 
|  |  | Singing praises unto God! | 
|  | 2. | He is riding through the deserts, | 
|  |  | Bringing in His saints in need. | 
|  |  | He's a Father to the orphans | 
|  |  | And a refuge tried indeed | 
|  |  | In His habitation- | 
|  |  | What wonderful salvation! | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, hallelujah! | 
|  |  | Hallelujah! Amen! | 
|  | 3. | Here the lone have found a family, | 
|  |  | Here the desolate a home; | 
|  |  | Prisoners are brought from bondage | 
|  |  | To prosperity unknown. | 
|  |  | For the flock-what wondrous grace- | 
|  |  | God prepared this dwelling place: | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, hallelujah, | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, Amen! | 
|  | 4. | Now the Lord in mighty triumph | 
|  |  | Sends the news of victory; | 
|  |  | We the "women" spread the tidings- | 
|  |  | "Kings of armies flee, they flee!" | 
|  |  | No more sweat and dreary toil; | 
|  |  | We at home divide the spoil! | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, hallelujah, | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, Amen! | 
|  | 5. | Lo, on high Christ hath ascended, | 
|  |  | Leading captives in His train; | 
|  |  | These as gifts He has perfected | 
|  |  | That the Lord may dwell with them. | 
|  |  | Brothers, sisters, we are those, | 
|  |  | We're those transformed, vanquished foes! | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, hallelujah, | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, Amen! | 
|  | 6. | Blessed be the Lord forever: | 
|  |  | Day by day He loads with good, | 
|  |  | E'en the God of our salvation- | 
|  |  | Spread His worthy praise abroad. | 
|  |  | His the goings forth from death, | 
|  |  | Every foe He conquereth! | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, hallelujah, | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, Amen! | 
|  | 7. | They have seen O God, Thy goings | 
|  |  | In Thy holy dwelling place, | 
|  |  | Thy triumphant, high processions | 
|  |  | Midst a mighty voice of praise. | 
|  |  | See the singers go before, | 
|  |  | Praising, praising o'er and o'er: | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, hallelujah! | 
|  |  | Hallelujah! Amen! | 
|  | 8. | Little Benjamin is leading, | 
|  |  | Then great Judah's company: | 
|  |  | Son of sorrow at God's right hand, | 
|  |  | Lion with the scepter see. | 
|  |  | Zebulun and Naphtali | 
|  |  | Make the joyful tiding fly: | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, hallelujah! | 
|  |  | Hallelujah! Amen! | 
|  | 9. | Saints, thy strength has been commanded | 
|  |  | >From the temple glorious; | 
|  |  | Still we pray that God may strengthen | 
|  |  | All that He has wrought for us. | 
|  |  | Higher yet our praises shall rise | 
|  |  | Till the utmost earth replies: | 
|  |  | Hallelujah, hallelujah! | 
|  |  | Hallelujah! Amen! |
