Hymn Context Compare
The Lord with sword and fire shall plead,
Redeemed by sov­er­eign grace.
From the rag­ing li­on’s pow­er,
Reaping will come, be­hold the waste field;
Is but es­teemed al­most a saint,
Would you ’scape the aw­ful sen­tence?
Mature for death their heads they rear,
In dark­ness sec­ret­ly;
I hear the thun­der roar;
Send out a light un­to those who stray,
Cause life to ab­ound
In these dis­tress­ing times.
A God! a God! lost man to save
In con­fu­sion, O Lord,
In vain he pleads, Fly, sin­ner fly…
Fools make a mock at sin,
Oh, like a fiend in its tow­er­ing wrath,
Down to a woe­ful hell.
In Him I live, up­on Him cast my care;
How shall I let thee go?

de­struct­ion

And sweep His slaugh­tered foes to hell.
To Zi­on up­ward tend:
Save, save one!
Sowing the seed of spir­it so pure,
Lord, let not all my hopes be vain
Seek the Lord by true re­pent­ance,
But Thou above the star­ry plain
At noon-day op­en­ly.
And ven­geance at the door.
Point them to path­ways of pur­er de­light,
Was Is­ra­el lost
How has it swept our towns;
The Sav­ior’s come, by pr­ophets told,
Let shame and de­feat be their on­ly re­ward,
Empty en­thu­si­ast, they re­ply,
But death will stop their sim­ple grin,
Mercy, O Heav­en, the suf­fer­ers wail,
Oh, what an aw­ful sight!
He is my re­fuge in each deep dis­tress;
And all thine ang­uish know?
