Lyics

JEHOVAH reigns: He dwells in light,

Array'd with majesty and might;

The world, created by His hands,

Still on its firm foundation stands.



But ere this spacious world was made,

Or had its first foundation laid,

His throne eternal ages stood,

Himself the Ever-living God.



Forever shall His throne endure;

His promise stands forever sure;

And everlasting holiness

Becomes the dwellings of His grace.
