The Lord Is in His Holy Place (Montgomery)

The Lord is in His ho­ly place

And from His throne on high

He looks up­on the hu­man race

With om­ni­pre­sent eye.

He proves the right­eous

marks their path;

In Him the weak are strong;

But vio­lence pro­vokes His wrath

The Lord ab­hor­reth wrong.

God on the wick­ed will rain down

His brim­stone

fire

and snares;

The gloom and tem­pest of His frown—

This por­tion shall be theirs.

The right­eous Lord will take de­light

Alone in right­eous­ness;

The just are pleas­ing in His sight

The hum­ble He will bless.
