Urania ‎#133

133. An Anthem taken out of the 97 Psalm

Jehovah reigns, let all the earth,
let all the earth, all,
all the earth rejoice, all
let all the earth
in his just government rejoice,
all, all, all,
let all the earth
in his just government rejoice,
rejoice, rejoice, let all the earth
in his just government rejoice.

Let all the isles with sacred mirth,
with sacred mirth,
let all the isles rejoice,
all with sacred mirth
in his applause unite their voice,
all, all, all,
with sacred mirth
in his applause unite their voice,
rejoice, rejoice, let all the isles,
in his applause unite their voice

Darkness and clouds of awful shade,
his dazling glory shroud in state,
justice and truth his guards are made,
and vised by his pavilion waits.

Devouring fire before his face,
devouring fire his foes around
with vengeance struck.
His lightning set the world on blaze
earth saw it and with terror shook.

The proudest hills his presence felt,
their hight nor strength could help afford.
the proudest hills like was did melt
in presence of th'almighty Lord.

The heavens his righteousness to show,
with storms of fire, his foes pursued;
and all the trembling world below
have his descending glory view'd.

Glad Sion of thy triumph heard,
and Judahs daughters were oerjoy'd.
because thy righteous judgments, Lord,
have pagan pride and power destroy'd.

and all the trembling world below
have his descending glory view'd.
Glad Sion of thy triumph heard,
and Judahs daughters were oerjoy'd.
because thy righteous judgments, Lord,
have pagan pride and power destroy'd.

Rejoice, ye righteous in the Lord,
memorials of his holiness,
deep in your faithful breasts record,
and with your thankful tongues confess.
