God compared to a Giant

A Giant is a man of strength,
Both fierce and swift also,
When like a Giant God appears,
He is provok'd we know,

By our great sins which grievous are
In his most blessed sight,
On us therefore as Giants do,
Does he break forth with might.

As if he would to pieces tear
Such, whom his Soul doth love,
Yet in his Heart affections dear,
Toward us then does move.

'Tis to convince our Souls of sin,
And us to humble too,
And fit us for some glorious work
He has for us to do.

And crucifie us to the world,
And to each earthly thing,
That we might see from him alone,
Our chiefest Joy does spring.

To exercise our Graces too,
This is another end,
That they might their great Lustre show,
For this does tryals send.

And Satan might be silenced,
Who does Gods Jobs accuse,
From hence, as you have heard and read,
God thus his Saints does use.

And that Examples God might have
Of patience, to sustain
Some others of his Children, who
May meet with such like pain.

Then do not mourn, ye godly ones,
When on you God does run,
He pities you, and hears your moans,
In mercy will return

Again to you, and you shall see
His sweet and lovely face;
Therefore sing ye his praises forth,
And prize his glorious Grace.
