15692. On Spreading Clouds, The Judge Supreme

1 On spreading clouds, the Judge supreme
Comes flying all abroad;
Mountains and rocks and seas proclaim
The presence of their God.

2 Ten thousand spirits near His throne,
In humble forms adore;
While nations sink beneath His frown,
Or tremble at His power.

3 Now He appears in majesty,
And draws His flaming sword;
See guilty hearts in terror fly
Before their sovereign Lord.

4 Rejoice, ye saints, this mighty One
Is your unfailing friend;
That arm which casts the rebel down,
The righteous shall defend.
