Majesty and Power

Henry Kirke White • English

Primary Scripture: Job 38

Verse 1

The Lord our God is clothed with might, The winds obey His will; He speaks, and in His heavenly height The rolling sun stands still.

Verse 2

Rebel, ye waves, and o’er the land With threatening aspect roar; The Lord uplifts His awful hand, And chains you to the shore.

Verse 3

Ye winds of night, your force combine; Without His high behest, Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, Disturb the sparrow’s nest.

Verse 4

His voice sublime is heard afar; In distant peals it dies; He yokes the whirlwind to His car, And sweeps the howling skies.

Verse 5

Ye sons of earth, in reverence bend; Ye nations, wait His nod; And bid the choral song ascend To celebrate our God. AMEN.
