Religion

On a Thunderstorm

by Sir Walter Scott 1771–1832

From Miscellaneous Poems

Religion

LOUD o'er my head though awful thunders roll,
And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole,
Yet 'tis thy voice, my God, that bids them fly,
Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky.
Then let the good thy mighty name revere,
And hardened sinners thy just vengeance fear.
