1. The Lord our God is full of might,
The winds obey His will;
He speaks, and, in His heavenly height,
The rolling sun stands still.

2. Rebel, ye waves! and o’er the land
With threatening aspect roar;
The Lord uplifts His awful hand,
And chains you to the shore.

3. Howl, winds of night! your force combine;
Without His high behest
Ye shall not, in the mountain-pine,
Disturb the sparrow’s nest.

4. His voice sublime is heard afar,
In distant peals it dies;
He yokes the whirlwind to His car,
And sweeps the howling skies.

5. Ye nations! bend—in reverence bend;
Ye monarchs! wait His nod,
And bid the choral song ascend
To celebrate your God.
H. K. WHITE.
