Deuteronomy 33:26: God of the upright ones

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

God of the upright ones,
Who can with Him compare I
He makes the house of Israels sons
His everlasting care:
Jehovah's rapid course
What can resist, or shun,
When heaven is His managed horse,
And brings the Thunderer down!

Glorious in majesty,
He takes the whirlwind's wings.
Sublime He rides upon the sky,
And help to Israel brings;
His people's sure defence
He takes them to His breast;
And safe in His omnipotence
They shall for ever rest.
