The Psalter ‎#260a

260a. Divine Sovereignty

1 Jehovah reigns; let earth be glad,
And all the isles their joy make known;
With clouds and darkness He is clad,
On truth and justice rests His throne.

2 Consuming fire destroys His foes,
Around the world His lightnings blaze;
The trembling earth His presence knows,
The mountains melt before His gaze.

3 The heav'ns His righteousness proclaim,
Thro' earth His glory shines abroad;
From idol worship turn with shame
And bow before the living God.

4 Thy church rejoices to behold
Thy judgments in the earth, O Lord;
Thy glory to the world unfold,
Supreme o'er all be Thou adored.

5 All ye that truly love the Lord,
Hate sin, for He is just and pure;
To saints His help He will accord
And keep them in His love secure.

6 For good men light and joy are sown
To bless them in the harvest-time;
Ye saints, your joy in God make known
And ever praise His Name sublime.
