The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#65

65. The Lord Jehovah Reigns

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,
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.
His truth confirms and seals the grace.

3 Through all His mighty works
Amazing wisdom shines;
Confounds the powers of hell
And all their dark designs,
Strong is His arm, and shall fulfill
His great decrees and sovereign will.
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.
Join all my powers to praise the Lord.

AMEN.
