Psalms and Hymns to the Living God ‎#99

99. GOD Is King Forever

1 God is King forever: let the nations tremble;
throned above the cherubim, by all the earth adored;
He is great in Zion, high above all peoples;
praise Him with fear, for holy is the LORD.

2 Merciful as mighty, He delights in justice,
for He reigns in righteousness and rules in equity;
worship and exalt Him, bowing down before Him,
perfect in pow'r and holiness is He.

3 Holy men of old in Him alone confided;
He forgave their sins, although they felt His chast'ning rod;
in His holy temple worship and adore Him,
faithful and holy is the LORD our God.
