The Psalms of David ‎#174a

174a. Christ's Incarnation, and the last Judgment

1 Ye Islands of the Northern Sea,
Rejoice, the Saviour reigns;
His Word like Fire, prepares his Way,
And Mountains melt to Plains.

2 His Presence sinks the proudest Hills,
And makes the Vallies rise;
The humble Soul enjoys his Smiles,
The haughty Sinner dies.

3 The Heav'ns his rightful Pow'r proclaim,
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.

5 His Foes shall tremble at his Sight,
And Hills and Seas retire;
His Children take their unknown Flight,
And leave the World in Fire.

6 The Seeds of Joy and Glory sown
For Saints in Darkness here,
Shall rise and spring in Worlds unknown,
And a rich Harvest bear.
