O What a Stiff, Rebellious House

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5511 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: O what a stiff rebellious house Lyrics: 1. O what a stiff rebellious house Was Jacob’s ancient race! False to their own most solemn vows, And to their maker’s grace. They broke the covenant of His love, And did His laws despise; Forgot the works He wrought to prove His power before their eyes. 2. They saw the plagues on Egypt light From His revenging hand; What dreadful tokens of His might Spread o’er the stubborn land! They saw Him cleave the mighty sea, And marched in safety through, With watery walls to guard their way, Till they had ’scaped the foe. 3. A wondrous pillar marked the road, Composed of shade and light; By day it proved a sheltering cloud, A leading fire by night. He from the rock their thirst supplied; The gushing waters fell, And ran in rivers by their side, A constant miracle. 4. Yet they provoked the Lord most High, And dared distrust His hand: Can He with bread our host supply Amidst this desert land? The Lord with indignation heard, And caused His wrath to flame; His terrors ever stand prepared To vindicate His name. Languages: English Tune Title: ANCYRA
