Hymnal: Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #208a (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 He reigns! the Lord, the Savior 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;
Tho' gloomy clouds his ways surround,
Justice is their eternal ground.
3 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. Scripture: Psalm 97:1-5 Languages: English
He reigns; the Lord, the Savior reigns!
