God! The Eternal, Awful Name

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11166 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God! the eternal, awful name That the whole heav’nly army fears, That shakes the wide creation’s frame, And Satan trembles when he hears. 2 Like flames of fire His servants are, And light surrounds His dwelling place; But, O ye fiery flames! declare The brighter glories of His face. 3 ’Tis not for such poor worms as we To speak so infinite a thing; But your immortal eyes survey The beauties of your sovereign king. 4 Tell how He shows His smiling face, And clothes all Heav’n in bright array; Triumph and joy run through the place, And songs eternal as the day. 5 Speak, for you feel His burning love, What zeal it spreads through all your frame; That sacred fire dwells all above, For we on earth have lost the name. 6 Sing of His power and justice too, That infinite right hand of His That vanquished Satan and his crew, And thunder drove them down from bliss. 7 What mighty storms of poisoned darts Were hurled upon the rebels there! What deadly javelins nailed their hearts Fast to the racks of long despair! 8 Shout to your king, ye heav’nly host, You that beheld the sinking foe; Firmly ye stood when they were lost: Praise the rich grace that kept you so. 9 Proclaim His wonders from the skies, Let every distant nation hear; And while you sound His lofty praise, Let humble mortals bow and fear.

God! the eternal awful Name

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XXVII (1766) Lyrics: 1 God! th' eternal awful Name, That the whole heav'nly Army fears; That shakes the wide Creation's Frame, And Satan trembles when he hears. 2 Like Flames of Fire his Servants are, And Light surrounds his Dwelling Place; But, O! ye fiery Flames, declare The brighter Glories of his Face. 3 'Tis not for such poor Worms as we To speak so infinite a Thing; But your immortal Eyes survey The Beauties of your Sov'reign King. 4 Tell how he shews his smiling Face, And clothes all Heav'n in bright Array; Triumph and Joy run through the Place, And songs eternal as the Day. 5 Speak (for you feel his burning Love) What Zeal it spreads through all your Frame; That sacred Fire dwells all above, For we on Earth have lost the Name. [6 Sing of his Pow'r and Justice too, That infinite Right Hand of his, That vanquish'd Satan and his Crew, And Thunder drove them down from Bliss.] [7 What mighty Storms of poison'd Darts Were hurl'd upon the Rebels there! What deadly Jav'lins nail'd their Hearts Fast to the Racks of long Despair!] 8 Shout to your King, ye heav'nly Host: You that beheld the sinking Foe; Firmly ye stood when they were lost; Praise the rich Grace that kept you so.] 9 Proclaim his Wonders from the Skies, Let ev'ry distant Nation hear; And while you sound his lofty Praise, Let humble Mortals bow and fear.
