A Rushing Torrent Lyrics

Lord, be gracious to us
We long for you
Be our strength every morning
Our salvation in time of distress

See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar
With burning anger and dense clouds of smoke
His lips are full of wrath
And his tongue is a consuming fire

And you will sing
As on the night you celebrate
Your hearts will rejoice

As when people playing pipes go up
To the mountain of the Lord
To the Rock of Israel

The Lord will cause
People to hear
His majestic voice

His breath is like a rushing torrent
Rising up to the neck
He will make the nations see his arm coming down

And you will sing
As on the night you celebrate
Your hearts will rejoice

As when people playing pipes go up
To the mountain of the Lord
To the Rock of Israel

The Lord will cause
People to hear
His majestic voice

The oppressor will come to an end
And destruction will cease
The aggressor will vanish from the land
In love a throne will be established

In faithfulness a man will sit on it
One from the house of David
One who in judging seeks justice
And speeds the cause of righteousness

Righteousness will be his belt
And faithfulness the sash around his waist

Lord, be gracious to us
We long for you

See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power
And he rules with a mighty arm
See, his reward is with him
And his recompense accompanies him

And you will sing
As on the night you celebrate
Your hearts will rejoice

As when people playing pipes go up
To the mountain of the Lord
To the Rock of Israel

The Lord will cause
People to hear
His majestic voice
