How Great, How Terrible That God

Author: Samuel Davies, 1723-1761 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9450 Lyrics: 1 How great, how terrible that God, Who shakes creation with His nod! He frowns—earth, sea, all nature’s frame, Sink in one universal flame. 2 Where now, O where shall sinners seek For shelter in the general wreck? Shall falling rocks be o’er them thrown? See rocks, like snow, dissolving down! 3 In vain for mercy now they cry; In lakes of liquid fire they lie; There on the flaming billows tossed, For ever—O, for ever lost! 4 But saints, undaunted and serene, Your eyes shall view the dreadful scene; Your Savior lives, the worlds expire; And earth and skies dissolve in fire. 5 Jesus, the helpless creature’s friend, To Thee my all I dare commend; Thou canst preserve my feeble soul, When lightnings blaze from pole to pole.

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #733 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How great, how terrible that God, Who shakes creation with his nod! He frowns, and earth's foundations shake, And all the wheels of nature break. 2 Where now, O where shall sinners seek For shelter in the gen'ral wreck? Shall falling rocks be o'er them thrown? See rocks, like snow, dissolving down! 3 In vain for mercy now they cry; In lakes of liquid fire they lie; There on the flaming billows tost, For ever, O, for ever lost! 4 But saints, undaunted and serene, Your eyes shall view the dreadful scene; Your Saviour lives, the worlds expire; And earth and skies dissolve in fire. 5 Jesus, the helpless sinner's friend, To thee my all I dare commend; Thou canst preserve my feeble soul, When lightnings blaze from pole to pole.
