Religion
Hymn 210
From Spiritual Melody (1691), Part IX
GOD in his Sanctuary dwells,
Heav'ns glorious Throne,
From whence he views the Sons of Men,
And judges ev'ry one.
When he examins righteous Ones,
He does their works approve;
Such as are wicked and unjust,
His Soul can never love.
Snares shall befall them, and for these
This mixture is made up,
Fire, Brimstone, and tempestuous Storms
The Portion of their Cup.
God who himself is righteous, does
In righteousness delight,
And still will favour and protect
The Man that is upright.
