To Lebanon He turns His voice, And lo, the stately cedars break; The mountains tremble at the noise, The valleys roar, the deserts quake. 5. The Lord sits sovereign on the flood, The Thund’rer reigns for ever king; But makes His Church His blest abode, Where we His awful glories sing. 6. In gentler language there, the Lord, The counsels of His grace imparts; Amidst the raging storm, His Word Speaks peace and courage to our hearts.

Against my will my sins prevail, But grace shall purge away their stain; The blood of Christ shall never fail To wash my garments white again. 4. Blessed is the man whom Thou shalt choose, And give him kind access to Thee; Give him a place within Thy house, To taste Thy love divinely free. 5. Let Babel fear when Sion prays; Babel, prepare for long distress, When Sion’s God Himself arrays In terror and in righteousness. 6. With dreadful glory God fulfills What His afflicted saints request; And with almighty wrath reveals His love, to give His churches rest. 7.
