Arm of the Lord

- Arm of the Lord, awake, awake!
- Thy power unconquerable take;
- Thy strength put on, assert Thy might,
- and triumph in the dreadful fight.
- Why dost Thou tarry, mighty Lord?
- Why slumbers in its sheath Thy sword?
- O rouse Thee, for Thine honour‟s sake;
- arm of the Lord, awake, awake!
- Behold, what numbers still withstand
- Thy sovereign rule and just command,
- reject Thy grace, Thy threats despise,
- and hurl defiance at the skies.
- Haste then, but come not to destroy;
- mercy is Thine, Thy crown, Thy joy:
- their hatred quell, their pride remove,
- but melt with grace, subdue with love.
- Why dost Thou from the conquest stay?
- Why do Thy chariot wheels delay?
- Lift up Thyself, hell‟s kingdom shake;
- arm of the Lord, awake, awake!
