The Lord hath spoke, the mighty God

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #11 (1871) Lyrics: 1 The Lord hath spoke, the mighty God Hath sent His summons all abroad, From dawning light till day declines: The listening earth His voice hath heard, And He from Sion hath appear'd, Where beauty in perfection shines. 2 Our God shall come, and keep no more Misconstrued silence as before, But wasting flames before Him send; Around shall tempests fiercely rage, Whilst He does heaven and earth engage His just tribunal to attend.

On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry
