Text:

The Lord, the sov'reign King

1 The Lord, the sov'reign King,
Hath fix'd his Throne on high;
O'er all the heav'nly World he rules,
And all beneath the Sky.

2 Ye Angels, great in Might,
And swift to do his Will,
Bless ye the Lord, whose Voice ye hear,
Whose Pleasure ye fulfil.

3 Let the bright Hosts, who wait
The Orders of their King,
And guard his Churches when they pray,
Join in the Praise they sing.

4 While all his wond'rous Works
Through his vast Kingdoms shew
Their Maker's Glory, thou, my Soul,
Shalt sing his Graces too.
