Lyrics: 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; Though gloomy clouds his way surround: Justice is their eternal ground. 3 In robes of judgement, 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. Scripture: Psalm 97:1-5
