99. God Is Living

1 God is living, God is reigning,
And He is Jehovah still,
Tho’ vain man’s imagination,
Is set up against His will.

Refrain:
God is living, God is reigning,
Then my soul be fearless thou;
He who never lost a battle,
Will not be defeated now;

2 God is living, “God of battle,”
He is as in days of yore,
And His soldiers are victorious,
For He always goes before. [Refrain]

3 God is living and He holdeth
All the earth within His hand;
King of kings and Lord of Glory,
He shall reign o’er sea and land. [Refrain]

4 God is living, and He’s coming,
Back to earth to reign once more,
Strains of peace shall then be reigning,
O’er the earth from shore to shore. [Refrain]
