LyicsTh' Almighty reigns exalted high
O'er all the earth, o'er all the sky;
Though clouds and darkness vail his feet,
His dwelling is the mercy seat.
Oh ye that love his holy name,
Hate every work of sin and shame;
He guards the souls of all his friends,
And from the snares of hell defends.
Immortal light and joys unknown
Are for the saints in darkness sown:
Those glorious seeds shall spring and rise,
And the bright harvest bless our eyes.
Rejoice, ye righteous, and record
The sacred honors of the Lord:
None but the soul that feels his grace
Can triumph in his holiness.
