Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P93c (1766) Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns,
And royal State maintains,
His Head with awful Glories crown'd;
Array'd in Robes of Light,
Begirt with sov'reign Might,
And Rays of Majesty around.
2 Upheld by thy Commands,
The World securely stands;
And Skies and Stars obey thy Word;
Thy Throne was fix'd on high,
Before the Starry Sky;
Eternal is thy Kingdom, Lord.
3 In vain the noisy Croud,
Like Billows fierce and loud,
Against thine Empire rage and roar;
In vain, with angry Spite,
The surly Nations fight,
And dash like Waves against the Shore.
4 Let Floods and Nations rage,
And all their Pow'rs engage;
Let swelling Tides assault the Sky;
The Terrors of thy Frown
Shall beat their Madness down;
Thy Throne for ever stands on high.
5 Thy Promises are true,
Thy Grace is ever new;
There fix'd thy Church shall ne'er remove;
Thy Saints with holy Fear,
Shall in thy Courts appear,
And sing thine everlasting Love.
