Lo, Jesus Spreads His Wrath Abroad

lyricist: Benjamin Beddome (1717–1795)
Composer: Lowell Mason, 1839

Lo

Je­sus spreads abroad His wrath

And ven­geance sits up­on His brow;

Now trem­ble

rul­ers of the earth

And at His feet ye na­tions bow.

Now lift your sup­pli­ant hands; no more

Against un­eq­ual strength re­bel;

Fierce and re­sist­less is His pow­er

Which an­gels dread and dev­ils feel.

With true re­pent­ance seek His face

Love and adore th’ in­car­nate God;

Those sin­ners who re­fuse His grace

Shall sink be­neath His ir­on rod.

Soon shall that dread­ful day ap­pear

When He will fix your fi­nal doom;

Oh seek for mer­cy now with care

Before that aw­ful mo­ment come.
