When Kingdoms Fall

By Mrs. E. M. Peebles

MRS. E. M. PEEBLES
THE Lord our refuge is, and strength; In grief a present help to save, Though waters roar and mountains shake, Though hills dissolve and earth may quake, Though fig-tree fail and olive cease, And flocks and herds yield no increase; Though sun and moon stand still, abashed At presence of thy glittering spear, When they behold the nations thrashed Who rise defiant without fear. Then shall they see thy hand at length Stretched forth to save whom mercy crave.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep A longer silence when we cry. When darkling demons hold full sway, And impious nations rise to slay, He’ll hear the righteous when they call; He’ll save his own when kingdoms fall.
“From Zion’s beauty God hath shined;” Tempestuous fires around him burn, Unbounding love he calls to mind, And justice deals to those who spurn. The wicked drink the dregs so deep. O sinner, fly while help is nigh.
