Hymns and Sacred Lyrics | ||
353. The Midnight Storm.
1
This is the moment of mysterious power,When tempests though the air imperious, fly
And to extend the horrors of the hour,
Impenetrable darkness veils the sky!
2
Whilst trees, in mortal strife, augment the roar,Terrific, as their stately limbs they fan,
The tumult dies away, to rave the more,
In sounds that teach the littleness of man!
3
Still to increase the conflicts of the air,Thunders, heaven's concave, traverse in their might;
While lightnings, with their wide-extended glare,
Transform to instant day, the blackest night!
4
The God who thus his unseen hand can rear,And make the mightiest feel his mightier sway,
O, sinner! dread. The God of Nature, fear,
Whose faintest emblems, stars and storms convey!
