Psalm 94

Harriett Auber

2 Shall He who, with transcendent skill,
Fashion'd the eye and form'd the ear;
Who modell'd nature to His will,
Shall He not see? Shall He not hear?

3 Shall He, who framed the human mind,
And bade its kindling spark to glow,
Who all its varied powers combined,
Oh, mortal, say—shall He not know?

4 Vain hope! His eye at once surveys
Whatever fills creation's space;
He sees our thoughts, and merits our ways,
He knows no bounds of time and place.
6 Surrounded by His saints, the Lord
Shall arm'd with holy vengeance come;
To each his final lot award,
And seal the sinner's fearful doom.

Harriett Auber, 1829.
