HYMN 217. Almighty Arm invoked.
The First Metre.
Isa. 51.9.
AWake, Awake, O Arm of God,whose strength is uncontroul'd,
descriptionPage 233
Awake as in those ancient daies,and in the time of old.Didst thou not lay all Egypt low,and that fell Dragon wound?Dry'd••t Thou not up the Seas that flowwith Waters most profound?
Didst Thou not in those mighty deepsa plainer path discover?And for the ransom'd of the Lordmake way for getting over?Therefore shall God's redeem'd returnwith Songs to Sion hill,And endless joy crown them that mournwhile Songs their mouths do fill.
They shall obtain abundant joyand gladness in that day,Sorrow and sadness utterlyshall hast, and flee away.The God of Israel thereforerenown'd and honour'd be,From first to last for evermore,Amen, Amen say we.
2. METRE.
Ye Children, &c.
Awake, Awake, O Arm of GodAnd put on strength for th' undertrod,awake as in the daies of old:Art thou not it that rent and toreProud Rahab, and Thou woundest sorethe Dragon which those deeps did hold.
descriptionPage 234
Art thou not it that dry'd the SeaThe Waters of the deep were they,the Waters of the mighty deep:In those great deeps of Seas, I say,Thou mad'st a passage and a way,for thy redeem'd and ransom'd sheep.
Therefore the Lord's redeemed OnesThat were so fill'd with sighs and groansshall have a time for to return:And they shall come with songs of joyTo Sion hill unanimouslythat formerly did sigh and mourn.And everlasting joy shall beUpon their heads in high degreewhom former griefs did oversway:They shall undoubtedly obtainGladness and joy that shall remain,sorrow and sighs shall flee away.
