Original text and translations

English text

1. Why do nations rage together
 why in vain do they conspire?
 Rulers of earth's vast dominions
 light the skies with martyrs' fires.
 Truth mistaken, God forsaken
 banes of righteousness arise;
 Yet shall they reap sore displeasure,
 sure defeat before God's eyes.

2. To the children of the promise
 God shall give his throne this day;
 With a scepter forged of iron
 they shall dash their foes as clay.
 Faith revealing, humbly kneeling,
 quench the fire and sheath the sword,
 For God's wrath is quickly kindled;
 blest are they who serve the Lord.
