DISPOSER Supreme, And Judge Of The Earth,
Who Choosest For Thine The Weak And The Poor;
To Frail Earthen Vessels And Things Of No Worth
Entrusting Thy Riches, Which Always Endure;
Those Vessels Soon Fail, Though Full Of Thy Light,
And At Thy Decree Are Broken And Gone;
Then Brightly Appeareth The Arm Of Thy Might,
As Through The Clouds Riven The Lightnings Have Shone.
Like Clouds Are They Borne To Do Thy Great Will,
And Swift As The Winds About The World Go;
The Fire Of Thy Presence Their Spirits Doth Fill,
They Thunder, They Lighten, The Waters O’erflow.
Their Sound Goeth Forth, “Christ Jesus Is Lord:”
Then Satan Doth Fear, His Citadels Fall:
As When The Dread Trumpets Went Forth At Thy Word,
And One Long Blast Shattered The Canaanite’s Wall.
Then Loud Be Their Trump, And Stirring Their Sound,
To Route Us, O Lord, From Slumber Of Sin;
The Lights Thou Hast Kindled In Darkness Around,
O May They Illumine Our Spirits Within!
All Honour And Praise, Dominion And Might,
To God Three In One Eternally Be;
Who Round Us Hath Shed His Marvellous Light,
And Called Us From Darkness His Glory To See.
