Author: Josiah Conder, 1789-1855 Hymnal: The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) #36 (1973) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth, and all the heavens, rejoice;
From world to world the joy shall ring,
"The Lord Omnipotent is King!"
2 The Lord is King! who then shall dare
Resist his will, distrust his care,
Or murmur at his wise decrees,
Or doubt his royal promises?
3 The Lord is King! child of the dust,
The Judge of all the earth is just;
Holy and true are all his ways:
Let every creature speak his praise.
4 Come, make your wants, your burdens known;
Christ will present them at the throne;
For he is at the Father's side,
The Man of Love, the Crucified.
5 One Lord, one empire, all secures:
He reigns, and life and death are yours.
Through earth and heaven one song shall ring,
"The Lord Omnipotent is King!" Topics: Approach to God The Majesty of God Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT
