Zephaniah 3:8: Wait ye upon Me, saith the Lord, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Tremendous Lord, Thy voice we hear,
"In glorious majesty severe.
In anger great, I soon will rise!
Vengeance on that appointed day
Shall fiercely claim its destined prey.
And seize the victims of the skies.
I will Mine indignation pour,
On all the' assembled kingdoms shower
The vials of My jealous ire;
My wrath shall to the utmost come.
The whole devoted earth consume,
And burn My foes with quenchless fire."
