43. The Stars Shall Fall and Earth Should Shake

1 Though stars should fall and earth should shake,
Though floods should rise and mountains quake,
Though suns their spheres should all forsake—
Jehovah reigns! Jehovah reigns!
Though sin and shame our hearts bewail,
Though right and justice seem to fail,
Yet truth is sure and must prevail—
Jehovah reigns! Jehovah reigns!

2 Should choicest things too fleeting prove,
A faithful Friend have we above;
An arm to shield, a heart to love—
Jehovah reigns! Jehovah reigns!
Then tremble ye who dwell in vice,
Watch ye who mourn sin’s bitter price,
Ye blood-bought sons rejoice, rejoice—
Jehovah reigns! Jehovah reigns!

3 The Lord of heav’n—what can appall?
What needless woe on Him can fall?
What cherished sin can Him enthrall—
Jehovah reigns! Jehovah reigns!
Let glit’ring stars the language spell,
While rock and sea, and mount and dell,
And heav’n and earth the chorus swell—
Jehovah reigns! Jehovah reigns!
