67. Ye Mighty Ones, Give God All Honor

1. Ye mighty ones, give God all honor
And glorify His majesty!
He sends abroad the voice of thunder;
In dust before Him bend the knee!
The Mighty One reveals His power,
And in the clouds the thunders roar;
The lightning darts with sudden swiftness;
And from the clouds the waters pour.

2.The voice of God sounds o’er the waters;
His Word rings out, His thunders roll,
Proclaiming wrath to all who hate Him,
Earth trembles like a shaking scroll.
With majesty, with mighty power,
Speak forth the instruments of God;
The flaming fire and the thunder
Foreshadow His avenging rod.

3. O hearken, therefore, all ye people,
And humbly to the Lord submit;
O heed the warning of His thunder;
Know that He will in judgment sit.
The Lord who in the storm doth threaten
Will smite the earth with righteous wrath;
Repent and turn now to the Savior
For He can save you from that death.

4. The Lord is King; He is exalted;
He placed His rainbow in the sky,
A sign of faithfulness, a promise
Of grace to all who to Him fly.
Accept this counsel, then, ye nations,
And bow before your God today;
Then will his wrath be turned to mercy,
And He will give you peace for aye.
