He reigns--the Lord, the Saviour reigns

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 136 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 96:13 Lyrics: 1 HE reigns--the Lord, the Saviour reigns; Praise him in evangelic strains: Let the whole earth in songs rejoice; And distant islands join 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. 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 sore dismay, Fly from the sight and shun the day: Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high, And sing, for your redemption's nigh.
