Part 1
1 The God Jehovah reigns!
Let all the nations fear;
Let sinners tremble at His throne,
And saints be humble there.
2 Jesus the Savior reigns!
Let earth adore its Lord;
Bright cherubs His attendants stand,
Swift to fulfill His word.
3 In Zion is His throne,
His honors are Divine;
His church shall make His wonders known,
For there His glories shine.
4 How holy is His name!
How terrible His praise!
Justice, and truth, and judgment join
In all His works of grace.

And worship at His feet;

When Aaron was His priest,
When Moses cried, when Samuel prayed,
He gave His people rest.
3 Oft He forgave their sins,
Nor would destroy their race;
And oft He made His vengeance known,
When they abused His grace.
4 Exalt the Lord our God,
Whose grace is still the same;
Still He's a God of holiness,
And jealous for His name.
