Jehovah doth the heavens bow

Verse 1
Jehovah doth the heavens bow,
The Lord is in the whirlwind now!
His terror first alarms, and wakes,
With sudden dread the conscience shakes,
That sinners may his mercy prove,
And lose their fears in pardning love.

Verse 2
See in the strong impetuous sign
Th’ almighty power of grace Divine!
The Wind which on our spirit blows,
And moves, and pierces, and o’rethrows,
Refreshes, fills, and purifies,
And swiftly lifts us to the skies!
