Terrible God, That Reign'st on High

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Terrible God, that reign’st on high, How awful is Thy thundering hand! Thy fiery bolts, how fierce they fly! Nor can all earth or hell withstand. 2. This the old rebel angels knew, And Satan fell beneath Thy frown; Thine arrows struck the traitor through, And weighty vengeance sunk him down. 3. This Sodom felt, and feels it still, And roars beneath th’eternal load: With endless burnings who can dwell? Or bear the fury of a God? 4. Tremble ye sinners, and submit, Throw down your arms before His throne; Bend your heads low beneath His feet, Or His strong hand shall crush you down. 5. And ye, blessed saints, that love Him too, With reverence bow before His name; Thus all His heav’nly servants do: God is a bright and burning flame.

Behold God's Great Incarnate Son

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Behold God’s great incarnate Son Lyrics: 1 Behold God’s great incarnate Son In majesty comes flying down: Hark! for His trumpet’s awful sound Awakes the dead, and cleaves the ground. 2 So solemn shall the judgment be, And so severe the scrutiny, That, by his merit tried alone, The saint himself would be undone. 3 Where then, ye sons of Belial, where Will your astonished souls appear? How will ye shun His piecing sight? Or how resist His matchless might? 4 Up to the pointed mountains fly, And gain the confines of the sky; There shall ye meet celestial fire, While mountains melt before His ire. 5 Call on the rending earth to save, And in its center search a grave; The Judge shall well discern thee there, And drag thee trembling to His bar. 6 Deck thee around with fraud and lies, And put on every fair disguise; Soon shall thy painted form be known Amidst ten thousand of His own. 7 Gird thee in arms, His wrath t’oppose, And league with millions of His foes; Soon would the rebel band expire Like crackling thorns amidst the fire. 8 One only way may yet be found; Submissive bow ye to the ground: His cross a refuge will afford From all the terrors of His sword.

While Justice Waves Her Vengeful Hand

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 While Justice waves her vengeful hand Tremendous o’er a guilty land, Almighty God, Thy awful power, With fear and trembling, we adore. 2 Where shall we fly, but to Thy feet? Our only refuge is Thy seat; Thy seat, where potent mercy pleads, And holds Thy thunder from our heads. 3 While peace and plenty blessed our days, Where was the tribute of Thy praise? Ungrateful race! How have we spent The blessings which Thy goodness lent? 4 Pale famine now, and wasting war, With threatening frown Thy wrath declare; But war and famine are Thy slaves, Nor can destroy when mercy saves. 5 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, Though loud our crimes for vengeance cry, Let mercy’s tender voice prevail, Nor let Thy long suffering patience fail. 6 Encouraged by Thy sacred Word, May we not plead the blest record, That when a humble nation mourns, Thy rising wrath to pity turns. 7 O let Thy sovereign grace impart Contrition to each rocky heart, And bid sincere repentance flow, A general, undissembled woe. 8 Our arms, O God of armies, bless, Thy hand alone can give success; And make our haughty neighbors know That Heaven protects us from our foe. 9 Fair smiling peace again restore, With plenty bless the pining poor, And may a happy, thankful land Obedient own Thy guardian hand.

How Long Forgotten, Lord, By Thee?

Author: Benjamin H. Kennedy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: How long forgotten, Lord, by Thee Lyrics: 1 How long forgotten, Lord, by Thee, Forbidden still Thy face to see, Shall I, by daily grief distressed, Take counsel with my doubtful breast? 2 How long amidst triumphant foes, Who mock my agonizing woes, To Heaven’s high throne must I complain And seek the Lord my God in vain? 3 Consider, Lord, and hear my cries, Pour light upon my troubled eyes, Lest, yielding up my weary breath, I sleep the dreamless sleep of death. 4 Lest o’er my fall the foe rejoice, And cry with loud exulting voice: Lo where he lies, a trampled clod, Who vainly trusted in his God. 5 But I will ever trust Thee, Lord; My joy is in Thy saving Word: Thy tender mercies will I bless, And sing of all Thy righteousness.
