THe God of gods, the Lord,
hath call'd the earth by name:
From whence the sun doth rise, unto
the setting of the same.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 From Sion his fair place,
his glory bright and clear,
The perfect beauty of his grace,
from thence it did appear.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 Our God shall come in haste,
to speak he shall not doubt:
Before him shall the fire waste,
and tempest round about.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 The heavens from on high,
the earth below likewise
He will call forth to judge and try,
his folk he doth devise.
[verse 5] Bring forth my saints, saith he,
my faithful flock so dear:
Which are in band and league with me,
my law to love and fear.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 And when these things are tri'd,
the heavens shall record,
That God is just; and all must bide
the judgement of the Lord.
[verse 7] . My people, O give heed,
Israel to thee I cry:
I am thy God, thy help at need,
thou canst it not deny.
[verse 8] I do not say to thee
thy sacrifice is slack:
Thou offerest daily unto me
much more then I do lack.
[verse 9] Think'st thou that I do need
thy cattel young or old?
Or else so much desire to feed
on goats out of thy fold?
[verse 10] Nay; all the beasts are mine,
in woods that eat their fills:
And thousands more of neat and kine,
that run-wilde on the hills.
