Hymn Context Compare
No ev­il shall up­on thee come,
Thy grace to us re­veal;
Would not know our gra­cious day.
Preserve thee from the fowl­er’s snare;
Almighty to re­deem:
Where’s the answer? Oh I’m so empty
When all My storms of ven­geance rise
And praise Him in the fires.
Accept the sac­ri­fice we bring,
And calm­ly wait the end.
All ev­ents at Thy com­mand.
Strong is the Lord, her sov­er­eign judge,
While all the world Thy judg­ments feel,
The scourge is our Fa­ther’s hand;
That God may par­don us and bless;
Sole com­fort­er of souls for­lorn,
Now beams the star, the star new-born,
Their songs of soft­est har­mo­ny
To look to their own do­ing,
And no dis­ease with­stands;

plague

No night­ly ter­rors shall al­arm,
Tho’ we de­serve them well.
Therefore doth it still pro­ceed,
No fa­tal stroke shall thee as­sail.
Public ills they calm­ly meet,
Deep inside me, My conscience tells me:
Apostates from My rich­est grace.
Extol His sav­ing pow­er:
end
Our Sav­ior’s swift ap­proach de­clare,
Till He bids, I can­not die;
end
Repent, or now—for­ev­er die!
Oh, give us hearts to un­der­stand,
And draws from life its wea­ri­ness.
O cast a pi­ty­ing look on me
The Lamb is sent us from above,
Now I es­teem their mirth and wine
The on­ly way for heal­ing,
And fly at His com­mands.
