Lyrics

We sing the glo­ries of Thy love,
We sound Thy dread­ful name;
The Chris­tian church unites the songs
Of Mos­es and the Lamb.

Great God, how wond­rous are Thy works
Of ven­geance and of grace:
Thou King of saints, Al­migh­ty Lord,
How just and true Thy ways!

Who dares re­fuse to fear Thy name,
Or wor­ship at Thy throne?
Thy judg­ments speak Thine ho­li­ness
Thro’ all the na­tions known.

Great Ba­by­lon, that rules the earth,
Drunk with the mar­tyrs’ blood,
Her crimes shall speed­ily awake
The fu­ry of our God.

The cup of wrath is rea­dy mixed,
And she must drink the dregs;
Strong is the Lord, her so­ver­eign judge,
And shall ful­fill the plagues.
