Thy terrors spread abroad, Thine anger shown, Who dare appear Thy judgments near, Before thy throne? 2 Let man his anger raise, His wrath shall work thy praise, Then still obey Your offerings bring, Th' Eternal King, And vows repay. 3 Let all, who round his throne Before his word And princes know The world shall bow, Thy terrors, Lord. 77 C.

Pardoning Mercy supplicated. Aff 1 THOU gracious God and kind, Nor call our former guilt to mind, 2 Thy tenderest mercies show, Ere yet, with guilty fears laid low, Boxford. |
