1. We give to Jehovah, as heirs of the mighty,
We give to Jehovah all glory and pow'r;
We give to Jehovah the honor and glory,
In beauty of holiness kneel and adore.
2. The voice of Jehovah comes down on the waters,
In thunder the God of all glory draws nigh;
See, over the waves of the wide, flowing waters,
Jehovah, our King, is majestic on high.
3. The voice of Jehovah is mighty, is mighty;
The voice of Jehovah in majesty speaks;
The voice of Jehovah is breaking the cedars;
Jehovah the cedars of Lebanon breaks.
4. All souls in his temple are speaking his glory;
O'er floods he presides as the King on his throne;
Jehovah all strength to his people is giving;
Jehovah with peace is still blessing his own.

Horatius Bonar was born at Edinburgh, in 1808. His education was obtained at the High School, and the University of his native city. He was ordained to the ministry, in 1837, and since then has been pastor at Kelso. In 1843, he joined the Free Church of Scotland. His reputation as a religious writer was first gained on the publication of the "Kelso Tracts," of which he was the author. He has also written many other prose works, some of which have had a very large circulation. Nor is he less favorably known as a religious poet and hymn-writer. The three series of "Hymns of Faith and Hope," have passed through several editions.
