Text: | The God who reigns on high |
Author: | Thomas Olivers |
Tune: | LEONI |
1 The God who reigns on high,
The great archangels sing,
And "Holy, holy, holy," cry,
"Almighty King!
Who was and is the same,
And evermore shall be;
Jehovah Father, great I AM,
We worship Thee."
2 Before the Saviour's face
The ransomed nations bow,
O'erwhelmed at His almighty grace,
For ever new:
He shows His prints of love;
They kindle to a flame,
And sound, through all the worlds above,
The slaughtered Lamb.
3 The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!"
Hail, Abraham's God and mine!
I join the heavenly lays;
All might and majesty are Thine,
And endless praise.
