Jehovah sits upon the clouds,
And blackens all the sky;
He rolls the thunders round the globe,
And bids the lightnings fly.
Th' impending clouds asunder part,
And burst in sable frame;
And from the quick expansion, dart
A momentary flame.
Around the vaults of heaven on high,
Thick peals of thunder roll;
And loudly rumbling o'er the sky,
They shake the solid pole.
But ah! how will the nations quake,
When in that dreadful day,
'Midst nature's universal wreck,
The heavens shall pass away.
The sun, and moon, and stars on high,
Shall lose their wonted rays;
The earth beneath, and all the sky,
Will then be in a blaze.
O may I stand in Jesu's robes,
When mountains down are hurled;
When earth and sea shall be no more,
And flames shall end the world.
