CXV. The Duty of remonstrating against Sin, when Judgments are threatned.
From Hymns founded on various Texts in the Holy Scriptures (1755)
THY Judgments cry aloud,
O ever-righteous GOD,
And in the Sight of all our Land
Thou liftest up thy Rod.
Aloud thy Servants cry,
Commission'd from thy Throne,
And like a Trumpet raise their Voice
To make thy Judgments known.
But who that Cry attends,
And makes his Safety sure?
Rock'd by the Tempest, they should flee,
They sleep the more secure.
Another Trumpet, LORD,
The stupid Slumb'rers need;
Nor will they hear a feebler Voice
Than that, which wakes the Dead.
