LyicsTHE Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth! and all ye heav'ns, 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.
The Lord is King! let all bow down,
Nor dare provoke His awful frown;
Ere justice blaze, His scepter kiss,
And sate thy soul with heav'nly bliss.
