Author: Margaret Clarkson Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #72 (1990) Meter: 9.9.9.6 with refrain Refrain First Line: His holy purpose unchanging stands Lyrics: 1 Amid the fears that oppress our day,
across the clouds that obscure our way,
one golden truth sheds its shining ray —
our God is sovereign still.
Refrain:
His holy purpose unchanging stands,
the stars still turn at their Lord’s commands;
he holds the world in his mighty hands —
our God is sovereign still!
Our God is sovereign still!
2 Though wars may rise, and though kingdoms fall,
though ills may threaten, and fears enthrall,
our God still lives, and he hears our call —
our God is sovereign still. [Refrain]
3 Though fierce the fight ’gainst the hosts of wrong,
his Word is sure, and his arm is strong;
the day is his: raise his triumph song —
our God is sovereign still. [Refrain]
4 When Christ shall come to receive his own,
when his the kingdom, the pow’r, the throne,
eternal King he shall reign alone —
our God is sovereign still. [Refrain]
