Je-ho-vah reigns; let earth be glad,
And all the isles their joy make known;
With clouds and dark-ness He is clad,
On truth and jus-tice rests His throne.
Con-sum-ing fire de-stroys His foes,
A-round the world His light-nings blaze;
The trem-bling earth His pres-ence knows,
The moun-tains melt be-fore His gaze.
The heavens His right-eous-ness pro-claim,
Through earth His glo-ry shines a-broad;
From i-dol wor-ship turn with shame
And bow be-fore the liv-ing God.
Thy church re-joi-ces to be-hold
Thy judg-ments in the earth, O Lord;
Thy glo-ry to the world un-fold,
Su-preme o'er all be Thou a-dored.
All you that tru-ly love the Lord,
Hate sin, for He is just and pure;
To saints His help He will ac-cord
And keep them in His love se-cure.
For good men light and joy are sown
To bless them in the har-vest-time;
O saints, your joy in God make known
And ev-er praise His Name sub-lime.
