The Desire of All Nations

The following is a poem I wrote in 1993 based on Haggai 2.7: And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

The Desire of All Nations

Tongues shall be redeemed
And Calvin's land sing
Psalms again esteemed
Unto Christ our King

Jesu, who from the throne
Doth in heaven reign
Loves to hear his own
Glorify his name

But Zion's walls breached
The world now dark lies
Revolution preached
Wicked men arise

Evil is called good
Not thy law defined
Yet shall kings who should
Kiss the Son divine

God, thine own cause plead
Hear those prayers of old
Do thy people lead
Glory to unfold

Thy plan consummate
Return to acclaim
The praise shall be great
On earth to thy name
