Verse 1
All glory to God!
Pluck’d out of the flame,
We publish abroad
His wonderful name,
With glad exultation
And heartiest praise,
Ascribing salvation
To Jesus’s grace.
Verse 2
When devils and men
Against us arose,
And traitors unseen,
And legions of foes
Together conspired
The state to o’erturn,
And profligates hired
Our cities to burn;
Verse 3
Thou wouldst not restrain
The wicked from sin,
But slackning their chain,
Didst let them begin:
Beyond thy permission
Our land to o’erthrow,
The sons of perdition
No farther could go.
Verse 4
The remnant that pray’d
Thou couldst not disown:
They brought to our aid
Omnipotence down:
Omnipotence hasted
Our foes to expel,
And suddenly blasted
The project of hell.
Verse 5
The tumult so loud
No farther proceeds,
No longer the croud
Ride over our heads,
The ravaging fires
Are quench’d by thy word,
Rebellion expires,
And peace is restor’d.
Verse 6
Thro’ mercy set free,
The grace we receive,
And ransom’d by thee
Thy servants we live,
Thy power to deliver,
Thy love we proclaim,
And triumph for ever
In Jesus his name.
