Psalms of Grace ‎#97b

97b. The LORD, the God of Glory Reigns

1 He reigns! the LORD, the Savior reigns,
In robes of majesty array'd;
His rule omnipotence sustains,
And guides the worlds his hands have made.

2 Ere rolling worlds began to move,
Or ere the heavens were stretch'd abroad,
Thy awful throne was fix'd above;
From everlasting thou are God.

3 The swelling floods tumultuous rise,
Aloud the angry tempests roar,
Lift their proud billows to the skies,
And foam and lash the trembling shore.

4 The LORD, the mighty God, on high,
Controls the fiercely raging seas;
He speaks! and noise and tempest fly,
The waves sink down in gentle peace.

5 Thy sovereign laws are ever sure,
Eternal holiness is thine;
And, LORD, thy people should be pure,
And in thy bless'd resemblance shine.
