Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: When the overwhelming waters Once a world of sinners drown'd, Eight of Adam's sons and daughters, In the Ark salvation found: Gather'd to the Church, may we Thus from wrath and peril flee. When the fire from God descended On the cities of the plain, Three alone, by Heaven befriended, Refuge did in Zoar gain: By our pastors led, may we Thus escape to Calvary. When the midnight angel number'd Egypt's first-born with the dead, Israel's tribes, unsmitten slumber'd, Where the paschal lamb had bled: By the blood of sprinkling, we Thus from vengeance are made free. When, while quick and dead assemble, Flames this universe destroy, Though the wicked quake and tremble, Saints shall lift their heads with joy: Raised to life, like them, may we With the Lord for ever be.

From the couch of rest uprising, In my soul with brightness shine, Open Thou my lips to praise Thee, Blessed Trinity Divine-- Holy, Holy, Holy Thou, With Thy mercy bless us now. When the Judge shall come for Judgment, And our deeds are brought to light, Fearful we shall lift our voices In the middle of the night-- Holy, Holy, Holy Thou, With Thy mercy bless us now.
