The LORD Is King, Enthroned in Might

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The LORD is king enthroned in might Lyrics: 1 The LORD is king enthroned in might on wings of cherubim; he reigns in holiness and light, bow down to worship him! Beyond all majesty and praise his holy name confess; the king of everlasting days, who rules in righteousness. 2 Of old to priests and prophets known with trembling, fear and awe, he gave his people, set in stone, his statutes and his law.

To see at last, by grace restored from sin and all its stains, the holy mountain of the Lord where God in glory reigns.
