HYMN 10. God like a Lion.
Hos. 5.14. God compared to a Lion.
1 I Will like to a Lion be, I'll tear and will devour, Thus dost thou say, O holy One, To show thy wrathful power
1 I Will like to a Lion be, I'le tear and will devour, Thus dost thou say, O holy One, To shew thy wrathful pow'r
2 Against the wicked, who provoke Thee grievously each day, When patience does to fury turn, Thou'lt sweep them all away.
3 Who can the prey deliver from A hungry Lion? so ⟨p. 24⟩
