Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God the Lord is King; before Him,
Earth, with all thy nations, wait:
Where the cherubim adore Him,
Sitteth He in royal state;
He is holy,
Blessed, only Potentate!
2. God the Lord is King of glory,
Zion, tell the world His fame;
Ancient Israel, the story
Of His faithfulness proclaim;
He is holy,
Holy is His awful name.
3. In old times when dangers darkened,
When, invoked by priest and seer,
To His people's cry He hearkened,
Answered them in all their fear;
He is holy,
As they called, they found Him near.
4. Laws divine to them were spoken
From the pillar of the cloud;
Sacred precepts, quickly broken:
Fiercely then His vengeance flowed.
He is holy,
To the dust their hearts were bowed.
5. But their Father God forgave them,
When they sought His face once more,
Ever ready was to save them,
Tenderly did He restore;
He is holy,
We, too, will His grace implore.
6. God in Christ is all-forgiving,
Waits His promise to fulfil,
Come, exalt Him, all the living.
Come, ascend His holy hill;
He is holy,
