Fear of God

Verse 1

Happy beyond description he Who fears the Lord his God; Who hears his threats with holy awe, And trembles at his rod.

Verse 2

Fear, sacred passion, ever dwells With it's far partner love; Blending their beauties, both proclaim Their source is from above.

Verse 3

Let terrors fright th' unwilling slave, The child with joy appears; Cheerful he does his Father's will, And loves as much as fears.

Verse 4

Let but thy fear, most holy God! Possess this soul of mine; Then shall I worship thee aright, And taste thy joys divine.
