Text: | He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | SESSIONS |
Composer: | L. O. Emerson |
1 He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns!
Sing to his name in lofty strains,
Let all the saints in songs rejoice,
And in his praise exalt their voice.
2 Deep are his counsels, and unknown,
But grace and truth support his throne;
Though gloomy clouds his way surround,
Justice is their eternal ground.
3 In robes of judgment, lo, he comes!
Shakes the wide earth, and cleaves the tombs;
Before him burns devouring fire,
The mountains melt, the seas retire.
4 His enemies with wild dismay
Fly from the sight, and shun the day;
Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high,
And sing, for your redemption's nigh.
