L.M.

KINGDOMS and thrones to God belong;

Crown Him, ye nations, in your song;

His wondrous names and powers rehearse;

His honors shall enrich your verse.

2

He shakes the heavens with loud alarms;

How terrible is God in arms!

In Israel are His mercies known;

Israel is His peculiar throne.

3

He breaks the captives’ heavy chain,

And prisoners see the light again;

But rebels, who dispute his will,

Shall dwell in chains and darkness still.

4

Proclaim Him King, pronounce Him blessed;

He’s your defense, your joy, your rest;

When terrors rise, and nations faint,

God is the strength of every saint.
