P.XCVI | Church Hymn Book#P.XCVII.I | P.XCVII.II |
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;
Tho' gloomy clouds his way surround;
Justice is their eternal ground.
3 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.
