Text: | The Lord Jehovah reigns |
Author: | Watts |
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.
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.
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 fulfill
His great decrees, his sovereign will.
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.
