By A Collection of Hymns

      4-6s & 2-8s.
      1 THE Lord Jehovah reigns,
      His throne is built on high;
      The garments he assumes
      Are light and majesty:
      His glories shine with beams so bright,
      No mortal eye can bear the sight.

      2 The thunders of his hand
      Keep the wide world in awe:
      His wrath and justice stand
      To guard his holy law;
      And where his love resolves to bless,
      His truth confirms and seals the grace.

      3 Through all his mighty works
      Amazing wisdom shines,
      Confounds the powers of hell,
      And breaks their dark designs;
      Strong is his arm, and shall fulfil
      His great decrees and sovereign will.

      4 And will this sovereign King
      Of glory condescend?
      And will he write his name,
      My Father and my Friend?
      I love his name, I love his word,
      Join all my powers to praise the Lord!
