HYMN 13. God a consuming Fire.
Heb. 12.29. For our God is a consuming Fire.
1 A Consuming Fire dismal is, And terrible to see, So is that wrath of thine, O Lord, If kindled once it be.
2 Before thy indignation fierce, What mortal Soul can stand? Thy wrath is poured out like Fire, Which none can countermand.
3 The Mountains are thrown down by thee, Thy wrath doth fiercely burn, And all before thee, thou Lord wilt To Ashes quickly turn.
