That her Iinrhc is not n bvworti

In The conuucrirg Of her foes ,
Surely not c'cil the whole earth
Shook will, llcr triItnplinl cars,
Though all nations before her,
And her glory touched the stars.
For the pride and pomp Of splcndor
Which the great world can afford,
Silks To vanity and nothing
III the presence of the lord.
In His power lie passed among us,
And our hearts stood still iii awe;
While with more than Sinni's thunder

In the miro where guilt lad flung us,
In the slough Of lrcp disgrace,
Struggled wc-Ile passed among rs,

dripping with the blood OF millions
Swept ,liat red right hand below.
And lie showed us in the firrccness
OF His anger what awaits
Those who ti:,lnplc on the weak. or
Turn The stranger from the gates.

And all their bouslful horde
Fled like leaves before the whirlwind
At the coming Of the Lord.
In their men of war they boastcl,
Ia the great Avengers breath
Fell upon their mighty men, and
Smotc them like the frost Of death.
Come not too near the triumph mount,
On which Gods lightning Pushes
But come we III his presence clttt
In snckcloth and in ashes.
For our souls have not been s%inlcss.
Nor our huids been free from stain;
And our nlttrs yet IRE dripping
With the blood Of brothers slain,
Unto God belong the praises;

We have heard his mighty trumpet,
We have seen his flaming sword,
