LyicsTHE Lord is King! Lift up thy voice,
O earth! and all ye heavens, rejoice!
From world to world the joy shall ring-
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"
The Lord is King! Who, then, shall dare
Resist his will, distrust his care?
Holy and true are all his ways;
Let every creature speak his praise.
O when his wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, his love forsake,
Then may his children cease to sing
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"
