396. PART 2. “Hallowed be thy Name.”
1
In our world of sin and sorrow,Here, the wicked; there, the just;
292
But, the gold that will not rust,
He possesses,
Who has made God's name his trust.
2
In their sport shall mortals ventureTo prophane that Holy Name;
Heedless of their Maker's anger,
At whose word from dust they came!
Who upholdeth
Nature's universal frame!
3
All alike will need a shelterFrom the storm that soon will rise!
There are clouds of fearful omen,
(Gathering in the further skies!)
Mid the tempest,
In his Name our safety lies!
4
What below shall soothe our terrors,When his raging blasts descend?
If his name no shelter yield us;
If our God be not our friend?
Unavailing,
In dismay our hopes will end!
5
What, in death, shall grant us comfort,If his face Jehovah hide?
What in judgment shall support us,
When the book is open'd wide,
If no refuge,
God, our final judge, provide!
6
Spared by mercy, from this moment,May we all our sins bewail!
In our hearts, may solemn reverence
At the Name of God prevail,
In whose presence,
Seraphim their faces veil!
