1 Jehovah reigns enthroned in state;
Ten thousand angels round Him wait,
To bless and scourge at His award.
Tremble, thou earth, before your LORD!
2 High o'er this little world of sin,
He sits, and orders all therein.
Ye nations, own with one accord,
The holy, holy, holy LORD!
3 Jehovah reigns, He loves the right;
And sin with judgment will requite.
But ah, His people can declare,
How well He hears contrition's prayer.
4 O Wise and Good! Thou canst, Thou will,
The guilty spare, and slay the guilt.
Let heart and voice with one accord,
Adore the holy, holy LORD!
