Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9214 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The great Jehovah! Who shall dare
With Him attempt unequal war?
What heart of steel shall dare t’oppose,
And league among His hardened foes?
2 At His command the lightnings dart,
And swift transfix the rebel heart;
Earth trembles at His look, and cleaves,
And legions sink in living graves.
3 Where are the haughty monarchs now,
Who scorned His word with lowering brow?
Where are the trophies of their reigns?
Or where the ruin’s last remains?
4 See Pharaoh sinking in the tide!
See Babel’s tyrant, mad with pride,
Graze with the beasts! Hear Herod roar,
While worms his deity devour!
5 See, from the turrets of the skies,
Tall cherubs sink, no more to rise;
And trace their rank on thrones of light,
By heavier chains, and darker night.
6 Great God! and shall this soul of mine
Presume to challenge wrath divine?
Trembling I seek Thy mercy-seat,
And lay my weapons at Thy feet. Languages: English Tune Title: ARIZONA
