LyicsTHE Lord Jehovah reigns,
And royal state maintains,
His head with awful glories crowned;
Arrayed in robes of light,
Begirt with sovereign might,
And rays of majesty around.
Upheld by thy command,
The world securely stands,
And skies and stars obey thy word:
Thy throne was fixed on high
Ere stars adorned the sky:
Eternal is thy Kingdom, Lord.
Let floods and nations rage,
And all their power engage:
Let swelling tides assault the sky
The terrors of thy frown
Shall beat their madness down;
Thy throne forever stands on high.
Thy promises are true,
Thy grace is ever new;
There fixed, thy church shall ne'er remove,
Thy saints with holy fear,
Shall in thy courts appear
And sing thine everlasting love.
