O Righteous God, Thou Judge Supreme

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8369 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O righteous God, Thou judge supreme, We tremble at Thy dreadful name, And all our crying guilt we own, In dust and tears before Thy throne. 2 So manifold our crimes have been, Such crimson tincture dyes our sin, That, could we all its horrors know, Our streaming eyes with blood might flow. 3 Britain, the land Thine arm hath saved, That arm most impiously hath braved; Britain, the isle its God hath loved, A rebel to that love hath proved. 4 Estranged from reverential awe, We trample on Thy sacred law; And though such wonders grace hath done, Anew we crucify Thy Son. 5 Justly might this polluted land Prove all the vengeance of Thy hand; And, bathed in Heaven Thy sword might come To drink our blood, and seal our doom. 6 Yet hast Thou not a remnant here, Whose souls are filled with pious fear? O bring Thy wonted mercy nigh, While prostrate at Thy feet they lie. 7 Behold their tears, attend their moan, Nor turn away their secret groan; With these we join in humble prayer: Our nation shield, our country spare. 8 But if the sentence be decreed, And our dear native land must bleed, By Thy sure mark may we be known, And save in life or death Thy own.
