How slow Thine anger moves!

If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field, It withers in an hour. 7 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children’s children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

And, in melodious accent, speaks The goodness of thy names. 3 Thy justice, holiness, and truth, Our solemn awe excite; But the sweet charms of sovereign grace O’erwhelm us with delight. 4 Sinai, in clouds, and smoke, and fire, Thunders thy dreadful name; But Sion sings, in melting notes, The honors of the Lamb. 5 In all thy doctrines and commands, Thy counsels and designs, In ev'ry work thy hands have fram'd, Thy love supremely shines. 6 Angels and men the news proclaim Through earth and heaven above, The joyful, the transporting news, That God, the Lord is Love!
