Praise ye the Lord, who reigns above

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #101 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, who reigns above, Fix'd on his throne of truth and love: Behold the finger of his pow'r; Contemplate, wonder, and adore. 2 When man, debas'd and guilty man, From crime to crime with madness ran; Well might his arm its thunders launch, And blast th' ungrateful, root and branch. 3 But elemency with justice strove, To save the people of his love, "Go, my beloved Son!" he cried, "Be thou their Saviour, thou their guide." 4 The eastern star with glory streams; It comes, with healing on its beams. Dark mists of error flee away, And Judah hails the rising day. 5 His sacred memory we bless, Whole holy gospel we profess; And praise that great Almighty name, From whom such light and favour came.
