EN 499 When the Great Judge
Ps.9.12
Versi Version 1
1
When the great Judge, supreme and just,
Shall once inquire for blood,
The humble souls that mourn in dust
Shall find a faithful God.
2
He from the dreadful gates of death
Does His own children raise;
In Zion’s gates, with cheerful breath,
They sing their Father’s praise.
3
His foes shall fall, with heedless feet,
Into the pit they made;
And sinners perish in the net
That their own hands had spread.
4
Thus, by Thy judgments, mighty God,
Are Thy deep counsels known;
When men of mischief are destroyed,
The snare must be their own.
5
The wicked shall sink down to hell;
Thy wrath devour the lands
That dare forget Thee, or rebel
Against Thy known commands.
6
Though saints to sore distress are brought,
And wait and long complain,
Their cries shall not be still forgot,
Nor shall their hopes be vain.
7
Rise, great Redeemer, from Thy seat,
To judge and save the poor;
Let nations tremble at Thy feet,
And man prevail no more.
8
Thy thunder shall affright the proud,
And put their hearts to pain;
Make them confess that Thou art God,
And they but feeble men.
