Author: Philip Doddrdge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, when Thy hand is lifted up,
The wicked shall not see:
But they shall see with glowing shame,
Though they obdurate be.
2 How few the weighty stroke regard,
And seek their Maker’s face!
In vain may Providence correct,
If not enforced by grace.
3 Exert Thy mighty influence, Lord,
And melt the stony breast;
Then shall Thy justice be adored,
Thy mercy stand confessed.
4 The scorner then shall mourn in dust,
And put his sins away,
No more resist his Maker’s hands,
But lift his own to pray. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY CHANT Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
