None is like Jeshurun's God

Verse 1

None is like Jeshurun’s God, So great, so strong, so high; Lo! He spreads His wings abroad, He rides upon the sky! Israel, His first born son, God, th’eternal God is thine, See Him in thy help come down, The excellence divine.

Verse 2

Thee the great Jehovah deigns To succor and defend; Thee th’eternal God sustains, Thy maker, and thy friend; Sinner, what hast thou to dread? Safe from all impending harms, God hath underneath thee spread His everlasting arms.

Verse 3

God is thine; disdain to fear The enemy within; God shall in thy flesh appear, And make an end to sin; God the man of sin shall slay, Fill thee with triumphant joy; God shall thrust him out, and say "Destroy them all, destroy."

Verse 4

All the struggle then is o’er, And wars and fightings cease; Israel then shall sin no more, But dwell in perfect peace; All his enemies are gone, Sin shall have in him no part, Israel now shall dwell alone With Jesus in his heart.

Verse 5

In a land of corn and wine His lot shall be below; Comforts there, and blessings join, And milk and honey flow; Jacob’s well is in his soul, Gracious dew his heavens distill, Fill his soul already full, And shall forever fill.

Verse 6

Blest, O Israel, art thou, What people is like thee? Saved from sin by Jesus now, Thou art and still shalt be. Jesus is thy seven-fold shield, Jesus is thy flaming sword; Earth and hell and sin shall yield To God’s almighty Word.

Verse 7

God’s almighty Word shall stand, Thine enemies shall fall, Fade away at His command, And sink and perish all; Liars shall they all be found, All who cried, "It cannot be! Sin must always keep its ground Must always dwell in thee."

Verse 8

Christ shall make Thee free indeed, When He appears within; Thou on self and pride shalt tread, On all the strength of sin; Thou shalt more than conquer it, Thou shalt see it all depart, See it dead beneath thy feet, No longer in thy heart.

Verse 9

God, the gracious God and true, Hath spoke the faithful Word; He the mighty work shall do, Our trust is in the Lord: He the mountain shall remove, He the sinner shall restore; He shall me perfect in love, And I shall sin no more.
