8 7,8 7,4 7 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 name; 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, Worship at his holy hill.
