The Lord Jehovah Reigns

Verse 1

The Lord Jehovah reigns, His throne is build on high; The garments he assumes Are light and majesty; His glories shine with beams so bright, Nor mortal eye can bear the sight.

Verse 2

The thunders of his hand Keep the wide world in awe; His wrath and justice stand, To guard his holy law; And where his love resolves to bless, His truth confirms and seals the grace.

Verse 3

Through all his perfect work, Surprising wisdom shines; Confounds the powers of hell, And breaks their cursed designs: Strong is his arm--and shall fulfil His great decrees, his sovereign will.

Verse 4

And can this mighty King Of glory condescend-- And will he write his name, My Father and my Friend? I love his name, I love his word; Join, all my powers, and praise the Lord.
