Lyics

The Lord Jehovah reigns, 

And royal state maintains,

His head with awful glories crowned;

Arrayed in robes of light, 

Begirt with sovereign might, 

And rays of majesty around.



Upheld by thy commands,

The world securely stands,

And skies and stars obey thy word:

Thy throne was fixed on high

Before the starry sky:

Eternal is thy kingdom, Lord!



Thy promises are true;

Thy grace is ever new;

There fixed, thy church shall ne'er remove:

Thy saints with holy fear,

Shall in thy courts appear,

And sing thine everlasting love.
