- 1The Lord, our God, is full of might,
- The winds obey his will;
- He speaks, and in his heavenly height,
- The rolling sun stands still.
- 2Rebel, ye waves, and o'er the land
- With threatening aspect roar;
- The Lord uplifts his awful hand,
- And chains you to the shore.
- 3Howl, winds of night, your force combine;
- Without his high behest,
- Ye shall not, in the mountain pine,
- Disturb the sparrow's nest.
- 4His voice sublime is heard afar,
- In distant peals it dies;
- He yokes the whirlwind to his car,
- And sweeps the howling skies.
- 5Ye nations, bend in reverence bend;
- Ye monarchs, wait his nod,
- And bid the choral song ascend
- To celebrate your God.
