The dreadful God our souls adore; Reverence and awe become the tongue, That speaks the terrors of His power. Far in the deep, Avhere darkness dwells, The land of horror and despair, — Justice has built a dismal hell, And laid her stores of vengeance there. Eternal plagues and heavy chains, Tormenting racks and hery coals, — And darts, t' intiict immortal pains, Dy'd in the blood of damne'd souls. Tliere Satan, the first sinner, lies, And roars, and hites his iron hands; In vain the rebel strive...s to rise, Crushed ivith the weight of both thy hands. Their guilty ghosts of Adam's race Shriek out, and howl beneath thy rod: Once they could scorn a Saviour's grace, But they incens'd a dreadful God. Tremble, my sonl, and kiss the Son: Sinner, obey thy Saviour's call; Else your damnation hastens on. And hell gapes wide to wait your fall. Below, the pious author of a once popiiLar hymn, found in the collection before referred to, gives us a graphic pen pict- ure of God as seen by his mental vision : — His nostrils breathe out fiery streams; And, from his awful tongue, A sovereign voice divides the flames.
