Lyrics

[02:09.54] O for a voice like thunder,
[02:13.64] and a tongue
[02:14.78] to drown the throat of war!
[02:18.42] When the senses are shaken,
[02:20.25] and the soul is driven to madness,
[02:22.29] who can stand?
[02:26.20] When the souls of the oppressed
[02:28.00] fight in the troubled air that rages,
[02:30.70] who can stand?
[02:32.50] When the whirlwind of fury comes from the throne of god,
[02:36.70] when the frowns of his countenance drive the nations together,
[02:40.13] who can stand?
[02:42.61] When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
[02:45.51] and sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
[02:48.43] when souls are torn to everlasting fire,
[02:51.71] and fiends of Hell rejoice upon the slain.
[02:56.20] O who can stand?
[03:00.47] O who hath caused this?
[03:03.65] O who can answer at the throne of God?
[03:08.61] The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
[03:11.87] Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it!
