The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4663

4663. Now unto Jehovah, Ye Sons of the Mighty

1. Now unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty,
All glory and strength and dominion accord;
Ascribe to Him glory, and render Him honor.
In beauty of holiness, worship the Lord.

2. The voice of Jehovah comes down on the waters;
In thunder the God of the glory draws nigh;
Lo, over the waves of the wide-flowing waters
Jehovah as King is enthronèd on high!

3. The voice of Jehovah is mighty, is mighty;
The voice of Jehovah in majesty speaks;
The voice of Jehovah the cedars is breaking;
Jehovah the cedars of Lebanon breaks.

4. Each one in His temple His glory proclaimeth.
He sat on the flood; He is King on His throne.
Jehovah all strength to His people imparteth;
Jehovah with peace ever blesseth His own.
