And prisoners see the light again;
But rebels that dispute his will,
Shall dwell in chains and darkness still.

His name in Israel great;
In Salem stood his holy throne,
And Zion was his seat.

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.

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.

With holy Fear, and humble Song
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XLIV (1766) Topics: God's Vengeance; Hell or the Vengeance of God Lyrics: 1 With holy Fear, and humble Song,
The dreadful God our Souls adore;
Rev'rence and Awe become the Tongue
That speaks the Terrors of his Pow'r.
2 Far in the Deep, where Darkness dwells,
The Land of Horror and Despair,
Justice has built a dismal Hell,
And laid her Stores of Vengeance there.
[3 Eternal Plagues and heavy Chains,
Tormenting Racks, and fiery Coals,
And Darts t' inflict immortal Pains,
Dy'd in the Blood of damned Souls.]
[4 There Satan the first Sinner lies,
And roars, and bites his Iron Bands;
In vain the Rebel strives to rise,
Crush'd with the Weight of both thy Hands.]
5 There, guilty Ghosts of Adam's Race,
Shriek out and howl beneath thy Rod;
Once they could scorn a Saviour's Grace,
But they incens'd a dreadful God.
6 Tremble, my Soul, and kiss the Son;
Sinners, obey the Saviour's Call;
Else your Damnation hastens on,
And Hell gapes wide to wait your Fall. Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.145 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God his vengeance and compassion; Vengeance and compassion First Line: Lord, when thou didst ascend on high Lyrics:
Lord, when thou didst ascend on high,
Ten thousand angels filled the sky;
Those heav'nly guards around thee wait,
Like chariots that attend thy state.
Not Sinai's mountain could appear
More glorious when the Lord was there;
While he pronounced his dreadful law,
And struck the chosen tribes with awe.
How bright the triumph none can tell,
When the rebellious powers of hell,
That thousand souls had captive made,
Were all in chains like captives led.
Raised by his Father to the throne,
He sent the promised Spirit down
With gifts and grace for rebel men,
That God might dwell on earth again.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.146 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God his vengeance and compassion; Vengeance and compassion First Line: We bless the Lord, the just, the good Lyrics:
We bless the Lord, the just, the good,
Who fills our hearts with joy and food:
Who pours his blessings from the skies,
And loads our days with rich supplies.
He sends the sun his circuit round,
To cheer the fruits, to warm the ground;
He bids the clouds with plenteous rain
Refresh the thirsty earth again.
'Tis to his care we owe our breath,
And all our near escapes from death;
Safety and health to God belong;
He heals the weak, and guards the strong.
He makes the saint and sinner prove
The common blessings of his love;
But the wide diff'rence that remains,
Is endless joy, or endless pains.
The Lord, that bruised the serpent's head,
On all the serpent's seed shall tread;
The stubborn sinner's hope confound,
And smite him with a lasting wound.
But his right hand his saints shall raise
From the deep earth, or deeper seas,
And bring them to his courts above;
There shall they taste his special love.

Psalm 76
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.163 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Vengeance against the enemies of the church First Line: In Judah God of old was known Lyrics:
In Judah God of old was known;
His name in Isr'el great;
In Salem stood his holy throne,
And Zion was his seat.
Among the praises of his saints
His dwelling there he chose;
There he received their just complaints
Against their haughty foes.
From Zion went his dreadful word,
And broke the threat'ning spear,
The bow, the arrows, and the sword,
And crushed th' Assyrian war.
What are the earth's wide kingdoms else
But mighty hills of prey?
The hill on which Jehovah dwells
Is glorious more than they.
'Twas Zion's King that stopped the breath
Of captains and their bands;
The men of might slept fast in death,
And never found their hands.
At thy rebuke, O Jacob's God,
Both horse and chariot fell:
Who knows the terrors of thy rod?
Thy vengeance who can tell?
What power can stand before thy sight,
When once thy wrath appears?
When heav'n shines round with dreadful light,
The earth lies still and fears.
When God in his own sovereign ways
Comes down to save th' oppressed,
The wrath of man shall work his praise,
And he'll restrain the rest.
[Vow to the Lord, and tribute bring,
Ye princes, fear his frown;
His terror shakes the proudest king,
And cuts an army down.
The thunder of his sharp rebuke
Our haughty foes shall feel;
For Jacob's God hath not forsook
But dwells in Zion still.]

Justice and vengeance are his names;
Behold his fainting foes expire,
Like melting wax before the fire.]
3 He rides and thunders thro' 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 pris'ners see the light again;
But rebels that dispute his will,
Shall dwell in chains and darkness still.
6 Kingdoms and thrones to God belong;
Crown him, ye nations, in your song:
His wond'rous names and pow'rs rehearse;
His honours shall enrich your verse.
7 He shakes the heav’ns with loud alarms;
How terrible is God in arms!
In Isr'el are his mercies known,
Isr'el 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 ev'ry saint. Scripture: Psalm 63:1-8 Languages: English
Let God arise in all his might
Terrible God, that reign'st on high
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XXII (1766) Topics: Hell or the Vengeance of God Lyrics: 1 Terrible God that reign'st on high,
How awful is thy thund'ring Hand!
Thy fiery Bolts how fierce they fly!
Nor can all Earth or Hell withstand.
2 This the old Rebel Angels knew,
And Satan fell beneath thy Frown;
Thine Arrows struck the Traitor through,
And weighty Vengeance sunk him down.
3 This Sodom felt, and feels it still,
And roars beneath th' eternal Load:
With endless Burnings, who can dwell,
Or bear the Fury of a God?
4 Tremble, ye Sinners, and submit,
Throw down your arms before his Throne,
Bend your Heads low beneath his Feet,
Or his strong Hand shall crush you down.
5 And ye, blest Saints, that love him too,
With Rev'rence bow before his Name,
Thus all his heav'nly Servants do:
God is a bright and burning Flame. Languages: English

And all his saving works proclaim.
2 The heathens know thy glory, Lord,
The wondering nations read thy word,
But here Jehovah's name is known:
Nor shall our worship e'er be paid
To gods which mortal hands have made;
Our Maker is our God alone.
3 He fram'd the globe, he built the sky,
He made the shining worlds on high,
And reigns complete in glory there;
His beams are majesty and light;
His beauties how divinely bright!
His temple how divinely fair!
4 Come the great day, the glorious hour,
When earth shall feel his saving power,
And barbarous nations fear his name;
Then shall the race of man confess
The beauty of his holiness,
And in his courts his grace proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 97 Languages: English

Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs,

The haughty sinner dies.

The idol gods around
Fill their own worshippers with shame,
And totter to the ground.
4 Adoring angels at his birth
Make the Redeemer known;
Thus shall he come to judge the earth,
And angels guard his throne.

And hills and seas retire:
His children take their unknown flight,
And leave the world in fire.

For saints in darkness here,
Shall rise and spring in worlds unknown,
And a rich harvest bear. Scripture: Psalm 97:3 Languages: English
