Hymnal: Appendix, Containing a Number of Hymns, Taken Chiefly from Dr. Watts's Scripture Collection #XLI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Adore and tremble, for our God
is a consuming Fire,
His jealous Eyes his Wrath inflame,
And raise his Vengeance higher.
2 Almighty Vengeance, how it burns!
how bright his Fury glows!
Vast Magazines of Plagues and Storms
lie treasured for his Foes.
3 Those Heaps of Wrath, by slow Degrees,
are forc'd into a Flame;
But kindled, oh! how fierce they blaze!
and rend all Nature's Frame.
4 At his Approach the Mountains flee,
and seek a watry Grave;
The frighted Sea makes Haste away,
and shrinks up ev'ry Wave.
5 Through the wide Air the weighty Rocks.
are swift as Hail-stones hurl'd;
Who dares engage his fiery Rage
that shakes the solid World?
6 Yet, mighty God, thy sov'reign Grace
sits Regent on the Throne,
The Refuge of thy chosen Race
when Wrath comes rushing down.
7 Thy Hand shall on rebellious Kings
a fiery Tempest pour,
While we beneath thy shelt'ring Wings
thy just Revenge adore. Scripture: Nahum 1:1-3 Languages: English
Adore and tremble, for our God
