The God of Thunder.
THE Immense. the Amazing Height,
The boundless Grandeur of our GOD,
Who treads the Worlds beneath his Feet,
And weighs the Nations with his Nod ;
He speaks ; and lo, all Nature shakes,
Heav'n's everlasting Pillars bow ;
He rends the Clouds with hideous Cracks,
And shoots his fiery Arrows through.
Well. let the Nations start and fly
At the blue Lightnings horrid Glare,
Atheists and Emperors shrink and die,
When Flame and Noise torment the Air.
Let Noise and Flame confound the Skies,
And drown the spacious Realms below.
Yet will we sing the Thunderer's Praise,
And end our loud Hosannas through.
Thus shall the God our Saviour come,
And Lightnings round his Chariot play,
Ye Lightnings, fly to make him room,
Ye glorious Storms, prepare his Way.
