Some voice! it splinters beams of cedar,
it flashes out in flames of fire,
it thunders over mighty waters,
it makes the theme of praise run higher.
The shaking earth moves with that thunder,
the ground is rattled, rough and raw;
this quaking land disturbs the ocean,
destructive waves crash on the shore.
The world seems fractured and distorted,
we seek the power to understand.
As life is strangled and contorted
where is the God of love's command?
Verses 4-5 follow
Tune: ST CLEMENT
Metre: 9.8.9.8
