Dread Jehovah, God of Nature

Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 147 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dread Jehovah, God of nature, From Thy temple in the skies, Hear Thy people's supplications, Now for their deliv'rance rise. 2 Lo, with deep contrition turning, Humbly at Thy feet we bend; Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning; Hear us, spare us, and defend. 3 Though our sins, our hearts confounding, Long and loud for vengeance call, Thou hast mercy more abounding, Jesus' blood can cleanse from all. 4 Let that love veil our transgression, Let that blood our guilt efface: Save Thy people from oppression, Save from spoil Thy holy place.

He is with us, and who can oppose? 4 So, Lord, we commit this our loved one to Thee, Whose body is dead, but whose spirit is free: We know that through grace, when our life here is o'er, In bliss we shall be with the Lord evermore.
