How great, how terrible that God,
Who shakes creation with his nod!
He frowns — earth, sea, all nature's frame
Sink in one universal flame.
Where now, oh, where shall sinners seek
For shelter in the general wreck!
Shall falling rocks be o'er them thrown,
See rocks like snow dissolving down.
In vain for mercy now they cry,
In lakes of liquid fire they lie;
There on the flaming billows tost,
For ever— oh, for ever lost!
But saints undaunted and serene,
With calmness view the dreadful scene;
Their Saviour lives, the worlds expire;
And earth and skies dissolve in fire.
Jesus, the helpless creature's friend.
To thee my all I dare comment;
Thou canst preserve my feeble soul.
When lightnings blaze from pole to pole.
*** alt vers
How great, how terrible that God,
Who shakes creation with his nod!
He frowns — and earth's foundations shake,
And all the wheels of nature break..
See now the glorious, dreadful day,
That takes the enormous load away!
See oceans, earth, all nature's frame,
Sink in one universal flame.
But saints undaunted and serene,
Your eyes shall view the dreadful scene;
Their Saviour lives, the worlds expire;
And earth and skies dissolve in fire.
