LyicsJEHOVAH reigns; His throne is high;
His robes are light and majesty;
His glory shines with beams so bright,
No mortal can sustain the sight.
His terrors keep the world in awe;
His justice guards His holy law;
His love reveals a smiling face;
His truth and promise seal the grace.
Thro' all His works His wisdom shines,
And baffles Satan's deep designs;
His pow'r is sov'reign to fulfill
The noblest counsels of His will.
And will this glorious Lord descend
To be my Father and my Friend?
Then let my songs with angels' join:
Heaven is secure, if God be mine.
