Tune: Abbots Leigh
('Glorious things of thee are spoken')
Psalm 76
***********
In Judah is God known, His name
Great in Israel, e'er the same
In [Jeru]Salem His tabernacle
His dwelling in Zion all
There He breaks arrows of the bow
He great in power, we know
There He breaks shield, sword, and battle
Before Him enemies fall
He more glorious, excellent
Than mountains that here present
Stour-hearted are spoiled, are plundered
Sunk into sleep, we wondered
At them, an none of men of might
Worked with hands, but took their flight
At your rebuke, God of Israel
Egyptians were destroyed, we tell
You, even you, are to be feared
Godly fear, in awe revered
And who may stand in your sight when
You are angry, who once then?
You did cause judgement to be heard
From heaven, and at your word
The earth feared, and was still, for you
Did judge with justice anew
'Twas when God to judgement arose
To save all the meek, He knows
Them, and surely the wrath of man
Shall praise Him, and too He can
The remainder of wrath restrain
Arguings against Him vain
Vows make to Him, and gifts Him bring
Awesome Lord o'er everything
