Luke 12:5

• [Luk 12:5] Terrible God, That Reign’st On High

  Terrible God, that reign’st on high, How awful is Thy thund’ring hand! Thy fiery bolts, how fierce they fly! Nor can all earth or hell withstand. This the old rebel angels knew, And Satan fell beneath Thy frown; Thine arrows struck the traitor through, And weighty vengeance sunk him down. This Sodom felt, and feels it still, And roars beneath th’eternal load: “With endless burnings who can dwell? Or bear the fury of a God?” Tremble ye sinners, and submit, Throw down your arms before His throne; Bend your heads low beneath His feet, Or His strong hand shall crush you down. And ye, bless’d saints, that love Him too, With rev’rence bow before His Name; Thus all His heav’nly servants do: God is a bright and burning flame.

Luke 21:12

• [Luk 21:12] We Knelt Before Kings

  We knelt before kings; we bent before lords; For theirs were the crowns, and theirs were the swords: But times of the bending and bowing are past, The day of the people is dawning at last! We cringed before gold; we deified wealth; We laid on its altar the life and the health Of manhood and womanhood, and childhood and youth; Its lordship is doomed in this day of the truth. The strength of the state we’ll lavish on more Than massing of wealth and making of war; We’re learning at last, though the lesson comes late, The making of man is the task of the state. Great Day of Jehovah! prophets and seers Have sung of thy coming thousands of years; Thank God for each sign that the dark night is past; The day of the people is dawning at last.
