High
as the heav'ns above the ground
Reigns
our
Creator, God;
Wide
as the whole creation's bound
Extends
his awful rod.
Then
let the rulers
of this
globe
Not
dare to plague
the just;
He
puts on vengeance like a robe,
And
treads their
bones
to dust.
God
will give justice to his elect,
who
cry to him day and night?
Will
he delay long over them?
He
will swiftly make it right!
Ye
judges of the earth, be wise,
And
think of heav'n with fear;
The
meanest saint that you despise
Has
an avenger there.
Know
that his kingdom is supreme,
Your
lofty thoughts are vain;
No
matter what you dream and scheme
Your
death is still ordained
God
will give justice to his elect,
who
cry to him day and night?
Will
he delay long over them?
He
will swiftly make it right!
For
them there is no mercy seat
He
will own their every
crown,
He’ll
trample them beneath his
feet,
And
cast
their glories down.
The
Lord God
will avenge his saints
God's
wrath will
see them slain
Vengeance
belongs
to God alone
He
does not bear the sword in vain.
God
will give justice to his elect,
who
cry to him day and night?
Will
he delay long over them?
He
will swiftly make it right!
