Majesty 126
Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: Stephen Jenks
Meter: C.M.D. (8,6,8,6,8,6,8,6)
When God our leader shines in arms
What mortal heart can bear
The thunder of his loud alarms,
The lightning of his spear?
He rides upon the winged wind
And angels in array
In millions wait to know their mind
And swift as flames obey.
We love thee, Lord, and we adore
Now is thine arm revealed;
Thou art our strength, our heav'nly tow'r,
Our bulwark and our shield.
We fly to our eternal rock,
And find a sure defense;
His holy name our lips invoke
And draw salvation thence.
