I. Watts
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.
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 mighty works
Amazing wisdom shines;
Confounds the powers of hell,
And all their dark designs;
Strong is His arm, and shall fulfill
His great decrees and sovereign will.
4
And will this sovereign 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 to praise the Lord.
