V. GOD the Thunderer; Or, the last Judgment and Hell

1 Sing to the LORD, ye heav'nly Hosts,
And thou, O Earth, adore:
Let Death and Hell through all their Coasts,
Stand trembling at his Pow'r.

2 His sounding Chariot shakes the Sky;
He makes the Clouds his Throne;
There all his Stores of Lightning lie,
Till Vengeance darts them down.

3 His Nostrils breathe out fiery Streams,
And from his awful Tongue
A sov'reign Voice divides the Flames,
And Thunder roars along.

4 Think, O my Soul! the dreadful Day,
When this incensed GOD,
Shall rend the Sky, and burn the Sea,
And fling his Wrath abroad.

5 What shall the Wretch, the Sinner do?
He once defy'd the Lord;
But he shall dread the Thund'rer now,
And sink beneath his Word.

6 Tempest of angry Fire shall roll,
To blast the Rebel Worm,
And beat upon his naked Soul
In one eternal Storm.
