Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #172 (2024) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Jehovah reigns! O Earth, rejoice Lyrics: 1. Jehovah reigns! O Earth, rejoice;
Ye ransomed isles, exalt your voice;
Make ev'ry hill and vale around,
Responsive to the welcome sound.
2. Tho' far remov'd from mortal eye,
He reigns in glorious majesty;
Himself in darkened clouds concealed,
His truth, His justice stands revealed.
3. Avenging lightning from the gloom,
His bold, presumptuous foes consume;
But mercy's voice, in gentlest strains,
Tells ev'ry clime, Jehovah reigns.
4. Yes, Jesus reigns! the gospel's light
Beams with mild radiance on our sight;
And fallen souls, redeemed, forgiv'n,
May lift their hearts, his hopes to Heav'n.
5. Oh, then obey his sacred Word,
All ye who love and fear the Lord:
Go, publish through his wide domains
The glorious truth—Jehovah reigns! Topics: Resurrection [Ascension] Scripture: Psalm 97 Languages: English Tune Title: ABENDS
