Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 271 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns, his throne is built on high; the garments he assumes are light and majesty: his glories shine with beams so bright no mortal eye can bear the sight. 2 The thunders of his hand keep the wide world in awe; his wrath and justice stand to guard his holy law; and where his love resolves to bless his truth confirms and seals his grace. 3 Through all his ancient works amazing wisdom shines, confounds the powers of hell and breaks their cursed designs; strong is his arm, and shall fulfil his great decrees, his sovereign will. 4 And can this mighty King of Glory condescend? And will he write his name My Father and my Friend? I love his name, I love his word; join, all my powers, and praise the Lord.
