Verse 1
The Lord Jehovah reigns,
His throne is built on high;
the garments he assumes
Are light and majesty
His glories shine with beams so bright
No mortal eye can bear the sight.

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.

And will this sovereign King
Of Glory condescend?
And will He write His name

Join all my pow'rs to praise the Lord.
