God’s high heaven is choired With singers ringing back Ranks of bright light in song. Praise him! His voice troubles over the sea, And the waters writhe and surge. The voice of God towers and crests And rises up and up and up. His voice topples tall empires like timber, And rattles proud cedars down. The rock beneath my feet, The ground I thought was steady, Skipped and bucked like a calf When his clarion call sounded. The voice of the Lord gouges flames of fire. It shakes the weary wastes like a sheet. The wind of his words Strips the trees bare and everything In the wide home of the world Flings Godward, crying, “Glory!” Though the sea and the world rage, God is enthroned above the flood. Lord, strengthen your people. Lord, come be king and bring us peace!

Amen. God is indeed the uncontrollable Mystery; the untamable, wild Being, whose voice can shake the cosmos, and yet comes to us in a gentle whisper of Mercy.
