HYMN 8. God compared to a Giant.
Job 16.14 He runneth upon me like a Giant.
1 A Giant is a man of strength, Both fierce and swift also, When like a Giant God appears, He is provoked we know,
1 A Giant is a man of strength, Both fierce and swift also, When like a Giant God appears, He is provok'd we know,
2 By our great sins which grievous are In his most blessed sight, On us therefore as Giants do, Does he break forth with might.
3 As if he would to pieces tear Such, whom his Soul doth love, Yet in his Heart affections dear, Toward us then does move.
