39. We Know that God is On the Throne

1 We know that God is on the throne,
Though strife and sin are here;
And when the years have older grown,
And men shall see more clear,
The tumult and the strife will cease,
And truth and right have sway;
God speed for us the reign of peace,
We humbly pray.

2 We know that God is on the throne,
For we can clearly trace,
As centuries have come and gone,
His purposes of grace;
And though at times the mists appear,
And doubtings may arise,
The dark’ning skies as quickly clear
In glad surprise.

3 We know that God is on the throne,
His pow’r can never fail;
And ere the years of time are flown,
His gospel shall prevail,
And men shall live to serve in love,
While each his place shall fill,
The earth-life, like to that above,
In God’s goodwill.

Coda:
Our God is on the throne,
The coming days will show,
And watching o’er His own,
As the ages flow;
Our God is reigning still,
And though we may not see,
Is working out His holy will
To all eternity.
