The Praise of Sion waits for Thee

Pause. 5 Let Babel fear when Sion prays; Babel prepare for long Distress, When Sion's GOD himself arrays In Terror and in Righteousness. 6 With dreadful Glory GOD fulfils What his afflicted Saints request; And with Almighty Wrath reveals His Love, to give his Churches Rest. 7 Then shall the flocking Nations run To Sion's Hill, and own their Lord; The rising and the setting Sun Shall see the Saviour's Name ador'd.

The GOD of our Salvation hears

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P65b (1766) Topics: God his Being, Attributes and Providence Lyrics: 1 The GOD of our Salvation hears The Groans of Sion mix'd with Tears; Yet when he comes with kind Designs, Through all the Way his Terror shines. 2 On him the Race of Man depends, Far as the Earth's remotest Ends, Where the Creator's Name is known, By Nature's feeble Light alone. 3 Sailors, that travel o'er the Flood, Address their frighted Souls to GOD, When Tempests rage, and Billows roar At dreadful Distance from the Shore. 4 He bids the noisy Tempests cease; He calms the raging Croud to Peace, When a tumultuous Nation raves Wild as the Winds, and loud as Waves. 5 Whole Kingdoms shaken by the Storm, He settles in a peaceful Form; Mountains establish'd by his Hand, Firm on their old Foundations stand. 6 Behold his Ensigns sweep the Sky, New Comets blaze, and Lightnings fly; The Heathen Lands, with swift Surprize, From the bright Horrors turn their Eyes. 7 At his Command the Morning-Ray Smiles in the East, and leads the Day, He guides the Sun's declining Wheels Over the Tops of Western Hills. 8 Seasons and Times obey his Voice; The Ev'ning and the Morn rejoice To see the Earth made soft with Show'rs, Laden with Fruit, and drest in Flow'rs. 9 'Tis from his wat'ry Stores on high, He gives the thirsty Ground Supply; He walks upon the Clouds, and thence Doth his enriching Drops dispense. 10 The Desert grows a fruitful Field, Abundant Fruit the Vallies yield; The Vallies shout with chearful Voice, And neighb'ring Hills repeat their Joys. 11 The Pastures smile in green Array, There Lambs and larger Cattle play; The larger Cattle and the Lamb Each in his Language speaks thy Name. 12 Thy Works pronounce thy Pow'r divine; O'er every Field thy Glories shine; Through ev'ry Month thy Gifts appear; Great GOD, thy Goodness crowns the Year.
