'''Isaac Watts, Psalm 47, 1719''' 5. In Israel stood his ancient throne, He loved that chosen race; But now he calls the world his own, And heathens taste his grace. 6. The British islands are the Lord's, There Abraham's God is known; While powers and princes, shields and swords, Submit before his throne.
