Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16411 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Walking on the winged wind,
Fear before Him, Death behind;
When the Lord came down in wrath,
Clouds and darkness girt His path.
2 Thence abroad His arrows flew,
Thick and fast they smote and slew;
We in dust and ashes lay,
None could help, but all could pray.
3 Fervent prayer had power with God,
Caught the lightnings on its rod,
Faith and hope, amidst our bands,
Holding up its weary hands.
4 Prayer prevailed amidst despair,
God delights to honor prayer;
Judgment laid its terrors by,
Mercy beamed o’er earth and sky.
5 Now be sorrow turned to song,
Let the bruisèd reed grow strong,
Smoking flax break forth and blaze,
Prayer transform itself to praise.
6 Let the living now record
All the goodness of the Lord;
Him let the redeemed adore,
Go in peace, and sin no more. Languages: English Tune Title: ROSEBANK
