HYMN 91. God's Word comp. to a Hammer.
Jer. 23.29. Is not my Word like a Fire, and like a Hammer, to break the Rock in pieces?
1 Rocks they are hard to work upon, Yea, 'gainst a mighty Hand; The hardest Flint or Pebble-stone Whole, long it cannot stand.
1 ROcks they are hard to work upon, Yea, 'gainst a mighty Hand; The hardest Flint or Pebble-stone Whole, long it cannot stand.
2 If thou, O Lord, art pleased to take The Hammer up and strike, Thou wilt Impression quickly make, Though none can do the like.
