The Lord Jehovah Reigns
The Lord Jehovah reigns,
His throne is built on high;
The garments he assumes
Are light and majesty:
His glories shine
With beams so bright,
No mortal eye
Can bear the sight.
2. The thunders of his hand
Keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand
To guard his holy law:
And where his love
Resolves to bless,
His truth confirms
And seals the grace.
3. Through all his mighty works
Amazing wisdom shines,
Confounds the powers of hell,
And all their dark designs:
Strong is his arm,
And shall fulfill
His great decrees,
His sovereign will.
4. And will this sovereign King
Of glory condescend?
And will he write his name,
My Father and my Friend?
I love his name,
I love his word;
Join all my powers
And praise the Lord.
