Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #47 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 God the Lord is King: before him
earth with all your nations, wait!
Where the cherubim adore him
sits our God in royal state.
He is holy; he is holy;
blessed, only Potentate!
2 God the Lord is King of glory;
Zion, tell the world his fame;
ancient Israel, the story
of his faithfulness proclaim:
He is holy; he is holy;
holy is his awesome name.
3 Laws divine to them were spoken
from the pillar of the cloud;
sacred precepts quickly broken;
fiercely then his vengeance flowed.
He is holy; he is holy;
to the dust their hearts were bowed.
4 But their Father, God, forgave them
when they sought his face once more:
ever ready was to save them,
tenderly did he restore.
He is holy; he is holy;
we too will his grace implore.
