1 Let GOD arise in all his Might,
And put the Troops of Hell to Flight;
As Smoke that sought to cloud the Skies
Before the rising Tempest flies.
2 [He comes array'd in burning Flames
Justice and Vengeance are his Names:
Behold his fainting Foes expire,
Like melting Wax before the Fire.]
3 He rides and thunders through the Sky;
His Name Jehovah sounds on high
Sing to his Name, ye Sons of Grace;
Ye Saints, rejoice before his Face.
4 The Widow and the Fatherless
Fly to his Aid in sharp Distress;
In him the Poor and Helpless find
A Judge that's just, a Father kind.
5 He breaks the Captive's heavy Chain,
And Pris'ners see the Light again;
But Rebels that dispute his Will
Shall dwell in Chains and Darkness still.
Pause.
6 Kingdoms and Thrones to GOD belong;
Crown him, ye Nations, in your Song:
His wond'rous Names and Pow'rs rehearse;
His Honours shall enrich your Verse.
7 He shakes the Heav'ns with loud Alarms!
How terrible is GOD in Arms!
In Isr'el are his Mercies known,
Isr'el is his peculiar Throne.
8 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest;
He's your Defence, your Joy, your Rest:
When Terrors rise, and Nations faint,
GOD is the Strength of ev'ry Saint.
