Jehovah reigns; his throne is high;

His robes are light and majesty;

His glory shines with beams so bright

No mortal can sustain the sight.

2 His terrors keep the world in awe;

His justice guards his holy law;

His love reveals a smiling face.

His truth and promise seal the grace.

3 Through all his works his wisdom shines,

And baffles Satan’s deep designs;

His power is sovereign to fulfill

The noblest counsels of his will.

4 And will this glorious Lord descend

To be my father and my friend?

Then let my songs with angels join;

Heaven is secure, if God be mine.
