EN 2675 Keep Silence, All Created Things

Hab.2.20

Versi Version 1

1

Keep silence, all created things,

And wait your Maker’s nod!

My soul stands trembling while she sings

The honors of her God.

2

Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown

Hang on His firm decree;

He sits on no precarious throne,

No borrows leave to be.

3

Chained to His throne, a volume lies,

With all the fates of men,

With every angel’s form and size,

Drawn by th’eternal pen.

4

His providence unfolds the book,

And makes His counsels shine;

Each opening leaf, and every stroke

Fulfills some deep design.

5

Here He exalts neglected worms

To scepters and a crown;

And there the following page He turns,

And treads the monarch down.

6

Not Gabriel asks the reason why,

Nor God the reason gives;

Nor dares the favorite angel pry

Between the folded leaves.

7

My God, I would not long to see

My fate with curious eyes,

What gloomy lines are writ for me,

Or what bright scenes may rise.

8

In Thy fair book of life and grace,

O may I find my name

Recorded in some humble place,

Beneath my Lord the Lamb!
