1.The mighty God, the Lord,
hath spoken, and did call
The earth, from rising of the sun,
to where he hath his fall.
From out of Zion's hill,
in excellence refined,
And beauty the perfection is,
then God in glory shined,

2.Our God shall surely come,
keep silence shall not he:
Before him fire shall waste, great storms
shall round about him be.
Unto the heavens clear
he from above shall call,
And to the earth likewise, that he
may judge his people all.

3.Together let my saints
unto me gathered be,
Those that by sacrifice have made
a covenant with me.
And then the heavens shall
his righteousness make known:
Because the Lord himself is he
who judges, he alone.
