Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth Lyrics and MP3

Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth,
Who choosest for Thine the weak and the poor;
To frail earthen vessels and things of no worth
Entrusting Thy riches which aye shall endure.

Those vessels soon fail, though full of Thy light,
And at Thy decree, are broken and gone;
Then brightly appeareth the arm of thy might,
As through the clouds breaking the lightnings have shone.

Like clouds are they borne to do Thy great will,
And swift as the winds about the world go;
All full of thy Godhead, while earth lieth still,
They thunder, they lighten, the waters o’erflow.

Their sound goeth forth, ‘Christ Jesus is Lord!’
Then satan doth fear, his citadels fall;
As when the dread trumpets went forth at thy word,
And one long blast shattered the Canaanites’ wall.

O loud be their trump, and stirring the sound,
To rouse us, O Lord, from sin’s deadly sleep;
May lights which thou kindlest in darkness around,
The dull soul awaken her vigils to keep.

All honour and praise, dominion and might,
To thee, Three in One, eternally be;
Who pouring around us thy glorious light,
Dost call us from darkness thy glory to see.
