1 Jehovah reigns, let all the earth
In his just government rejoice;
Let all the isles with sacred mirth,
In his applause unite their voice.
2 Darkness and clouds of awful shade
His dazzling glory shroud in state:
Justice and truth his guards are made,
And fix'd by his pavilion wat.
3 You who to serve this Lord aspire,
Abhor what's ill, and truth esteem:
He'll keep his servant's souls entire,
And them from wicked hands redeem.
4 For seeds are sown of glorious light,
A future harvest for the just,
And gladness for the heart that's right,
To recompence it pious trust.
5 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord;
Memorials of his holiness
Deep in your faithful breasts record,
And with your thankful tongues confess.
