2 As by some certain Signs Men know A Storm is very near, So do thy Saints, O Lord, likewise Foresee their troubles here;
3 And therefore should prepare for them By warning thou dost give, And carefully their lives amend, And all more godly live:
4 And also with the greatest care Haste to their hiding-place ⟨p. 972⟩By Faith and Prayer get into thee; For whilst they see thy face,
5 And do enjoy thy presence sweet, They nothing need to fear; But we, alas, through unbelief, Astonished often are.
5 And do enjoy thy presence sweet, They nothing need to fear; But we, alas, through unbelief, Astonish'd often are.
