Hymns and Sacred Lyrics | ||
368. The Promised Rest.
1
God is good; his works declare it!Bow before him, great and small!
Who on earth, with vain contention,
Can withstand the Lord of all!
Devils fear him! Angels serve him!
Shall the feeble child of clay
Lift his arm against the Highest
Whom the hosts of heaven obey!
2
Oft his visits are of mercy,In the soft and breathing word;
Oft in judgment is his utterance,
When, in wrath, he will be heard!
Let us, as becomes the creature,
Stoop to his paternal sway;
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,
And we perish by the way!
3
God, as with a voice of thunder,Bids us reverence and adore
Christ, the Advocate of sinners,
Priest and King, for evermore.
If, to him, we scorn submission,
And, as rebels, stand confess'd,
We shall not appear in Zion,
And obtain the Promis'd Rest!
