Oh thou who sit’st enthroned on high.
So full of awful majesty!
From thee all kindreds of the earth
Receive their strength, derive their birth.
Thy potent arm confounds thy foes,
And deals insufferable blows;
One look of thine has power to save,
One word can sink them to the grave.
At thy rebuke the mountains shake,
And hearts more hard are made to quake;
When devils strive to break their chain,
Their struggles but increase their pain.
The ruins of Jerusalem
Thy vengeance to the world proclaim,
Whilst Sodom’s flames thy fury tell,
And the more dreadful flames of hell.
Then to the world’s remotest ends,
Or where thy wide domain extends,
Be thou both dreaded and adored,
The sovereign Judge, the mighty Lord.
