The Vengeance and Compassion of God
Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: God his vengeance and compassion; God his vengeance and compassion First Line: Let God arise in all his might Lyrics: 1 Let God arise in all his might,
And put the troops of hell to flight;
As smoak that sought to cloud the skies
Before the rising tempest flies.
2 [He comes array'd in burning flames;
Justice and vengeance are his names;
Behold his fainting foes expire,
Like melting wax before the fire.]
3 He rides and thunders through the sky;
His name Jehovah sounds on high:
Sing to his name, ye sons of grace;
Ye saints rejoice before his face.
4 The widow and the fatherless
Fly to his aid in sharp distress;
In him the poor and helpless find
A judge that’s just, a father kind.
5 He breaks the captive’s heavy chain,
And prisoners see the light again;
But rebels that dispute his will,
Shall dwell in chains and darkness still.
Pause.
6 Kingdoms and thrones to God belong;
Crown him, ye nations, in your song;
His wondrous names and powers rehearse,
His honours shall enrich your verse.
7 He shakes the heavens with loud alarms;
How terrible is God in arms!
In Israel are his mercies known,
Israel is his peculiar throne.
8 Proclaim him king, pronounce him blest;
He’s your defence, your joy, your rest:
When terrors rise, and nations faint,
God is the strength of every saint. Scripture: Psalm 68:32-35

Israel saved, and the Assyrians destroyed; or God's Vengeance against his Enemies proceeds from his Church

His name in Israel great;
In Salem stood his holy throne,
And Zion was his seat.
2 Among the praises of his saints,
His dwelling there he chose;
There he receiv'd their just complaints
Against their haughty foes.
3 From Zion went his dreadful word,
And broke the threatening spear;
The bow, the arrows, and the sword,
And crush'd the Assyrian war.
4 What are the earth’s wide kingdoms else
But mighty hills of prey?
The hill on which Jehovah dwells
Is glorious more than they.
5 ’Twas Zion’s king that stopp'd the breath
Of captains and their bands;
The men of might slept fast in death,
That quells their warlike hands.
6 At thy rebuke, O Jacob’s God,
Both horse and chariot fell:
Who knows the terrors of thy rod?
Thy vengeance who can tell?
7 What power can stand before thy sight
When once thy wrath appears?
When heaven shines round with dreadful light,
The earth adores and fears.
8 When God in his own sovereign ways
Comes down to save th' opprest,
The wrath of men shall work his praise,
And he’ll restrain the rest.
9 [Vows to the Lord, and tribute bring.
Ye princes, fear his frown:
His terrors shake the proudest king,
And smite his armies down.
10 The thunder of his sharp rebuke
Our haughty foes shall feel;
For Jacob’s God hath not forsook,
But dwells in Zion still.] Scripture: Psalm 76 Languages: English

Ludwig van Beethoven
1770 - 1827 Topics: God's Vengeance Composer of "GORTON" in Psalms for All Seasons A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.
