EN 594 We Love Thee, Lord, and We Adore
Ps.18.1
Versi Version 1
1
We love Thee, Lord, and we adore;
Now is Thine arm revealed:
Thou art our strength, our heav’nly tower,
Our bulwark and our shield.
2
We fly to our eternal Rock,
And find a sure defense;
His holy Name our lips invoke,
And draw salvation thence.
3
When God, our Leader, shines in arms,
What mortal heart can bear
The thunder of His loud alarms,
The lightning of His spear?
4
He rides upon the winged wind,
And angels in array
In millions wait to know His mind,
And swift as flames obey.
5
He speaks, and at His fierce rebuke
Whole armies are dismayed;
His voice, His frown, His angry look,
Strikes all their courage dead.
6
He forms our generals for the field,
With all their dreadful skill;
Gives them His awful sword to wield,
And makes their hearts of steel.
7
He arms our captains to the fight,
Though there His name’s forgot;
He girded Cyrus with His might,
But Cyrus knew Him not.
8
Oft has the Lord whole nations blessed
For His own church’s sake;
The powers that give His people rest,
Shall of His care partake.
