The Power and Majesty of GOD; or, Reverential Worship

Appears in 128 hymnals First Line: With Rev'rence let the Saints appear Lyrics: 1 With Rev'rence let the Saints appear, And bow before the Lord, His high Commands with Rev'rence hear, And tremble at his Word. 2 How terrible thy Glories be! How bright thine Armies shine! Where is the Pow'r that vies with Thee? Or Truth compar'd to thine? 3 The Northern Pole and Southern, rest On thy supporting Hand; Darkness and Day, from East to West, Move round at thy Command. 4 Thy Words the raging Winds controul, And rule the boist'rous Deep; Thou mak'st the sleeping Billows roll, The rolling Billows sleep. 5 Heav'n, Earth, and Air, and Sea, are thine, And the dark World of Hell; How did thine Arm in Vengeance shine When Egypt durst rebel! 6 Justice and Judgment are thy Throne, Yet wond'rous is thy Grace; While Truth and Mercy, join'd in one, Invite us near thy Face. Scripture: Psalm 89:7-14

Appears in 160 hymnals First Line: Through every Age, eternal GOD Lyrics: 1 Through every Age, eternal GOD, Thou art our Rest, our safe Abode; High was thy Throne e'er Heav'n was made, Or Earth, thy humble Footstool, laid. 2 Long hadst thou reign'd e'er Time began, Or Dust was fashion'd to a Man, And long thy Kingdom shall endure, When Earth and Time shall be no more. 3 But Man, weak Man, is born to die, Made up of Guilt and Vanity; Thy dreadful Sentence, Lord, was just, Return, ye sinners, to your Dust. 4 [A Thousand of our Years amount Scarce to a Day in thine Account. Like Yesterday's departed Light, Or the last Watch of ending Night.] Pause. 5 [Death, like an overflowing Stream, Sweeps us away; our Life's a Dream, An empty Tale; a morning Flow'r, Cut down and wither'd in an Hour. 6 [Our Age to seventy Years is set; How short the Term! How frail the State! And if to Eighty we arrive, We rather sigh and groan than live. 7 But O! how oft thy Wrath appears, And cuts off our expected Years! Thy Wrath awakes our humble Dread; We fear that Pow'r that strikes us dead.] 8 Teach us, O Lord, how frail is Man; And kindly lengthen out our Span, 'Till a wise Care of Piety Fit us to die, and dwell with Thee.
