Text: | Jehovah reigns; let earth be glad |
Tune: | BRYNTEG |
Composer: | James Ambrose Lloyd, 1815-1874 |
1 Jehovah reigns; let earth be glad,
And all the isles their joy make known;
With clouds and darkness he is clad,
On truth and justice rests his throne.
2 Consuming fire destroys his foes,
Around the world his lightnings blaze;
The trembling earth his presence knows,
The mountains melt before his gaze.
3 The heav'ns his righteousness proclaim,
Through earth his glory shines abroad;
From idol worship turn with shame
And bow before the living God.
4 Thy church rejoices to behold
Thy judgments in the earth, O Lord;
Thy glory to the world unfold,
Supreme o'er all be thou adored.
5 All ye that truly love the Lord,
Hate sin, for he is just and pure;
To saints his help he will accord
And keep them in his love secure.
6 For good men light and joy are sown
To bless them in the harvest-time;
Ye saints, your joy in God make known
And ever praise his Name sublime.
Amen.
