Is this the time our nation
will rise again? Is this
the time we have our own
king again?
People, clap your hands,
shout joy, sing loud,
to Holy One Most High,
awesome, king of all the earth!
Is this the time to sing
again, to shout our God
is king of all the earth?
Sing of God who sets
our seat beyond the rest;
sing of God, gone up with shouts
and trumpet sounds, sing praise,
sing praise, sing praises with a psalm!
Why gaze into the clouds, dear
folk, when he is gone?
Why watch the sky when he
has given you the earth to walk in peace?
The princes gather?
Our God is king – with shields
and throne and – ?
Walk the earth in peace,
your God will come among you
as before and always, not as
the kings of earth.
A Holy 'king', a Holy realm,
princes will be like all
the people of Holy One,
exalting Holy One alone,
who are our shield, our song.
This is the time, so sing
your joy aloud, so open
to the realm of God that comes
upon the earth: sing
praises with a psalm!
