L.M.

THE Lord, the God of glory, reigns,

In robes of majesty arrayed;

His rule Omnipotence sustains,

And guides the worlds His hands have made.

2

Ere rolling worlds began to move,

Or ere the heavens were stretched abroad,

Thy awful throne was fixed above;

From everlasting Thou art God.

3

The swelling floods tumultuous rise,

Aloud the angry tempests roar;

Lift their proud billows to the skies,

And foam and lash the trembling shore.

4

The Lord, the mighty God on high,

Controls the fiercely raging seas;

He speaks—and noise and tempest fly,

The waves sink down in gentle peace.

5

Thy sovereign laws are ever sure,

Eternal holiness is Thine;

And Lord, Thy people shall be pure,

And in Thy blest resemblance shine.
