Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #114 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 HE reigns--the Lord, the Saviour reigns;
Praise him in evangelic strains:
Let the whole earth in songs rejoice;
And distant islands join their voice.
2 Deep are his counsels, and unknown;
But grace and truth support his throne:
Though gloomy clouds his way surround,
Justice is their eternal ground.
In robes of judgment, lo! he comes;
Shakes the wide earth, and cleaves the tombs;
Before him burns devouring fire!
The mountains melt, the seas retire!
4 His enemies, with sore dismay,
Fly from the sight and shun the day:
Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high,
And sing, for your redemption's nigh. Topics: Attributes of God Justice; His Just Judgments Scripture: Psalm 96:13
He reigns--the Lord, the Saviour reigns
