Psalm 135:7: To guard our guilty trembling race
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
To guard our guilty trembling race,
The rain He with the lightning sends;
Sinners by evangelic grace
From Sinai's thunders He defends;
Psalm cxxix. 6 — cxxxviii. 8.
When terribly His judgments shine,
And dart destruction from above,
The storm is laid, the wrath Divine
Is quench'd by showers of Jesu's love.
