Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #164 (1786) Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns,
And royal state maintains,
His head with awful glories crown'd;
Array'd in robes of light,
Begirt with sovereign might,
And rays of majesty around.
2 Upheld by thy commands
The world securely stands,
And skies and stars obey thy word;
Thy throne was fixt on high
Ere stars adorn'd the sky;
Eternal is thy kingdom, Lord.
3 In vain the noisy croud,
Like billows fierce and loud,
Against thine empire rage and roar;
In vain with angry spite
The surly nations fight,
And dash like waves against the shore.
4 Let floods and nations rage,
And all their power engage,
Let swelling tides assault the sky;
The terrors of thy frown
Shall beat their madness down;
Thy throne forever stands on high.
5 Thy promises are true,
Thy grace is ever new,
There fix'd thy church shall ne'er remove;
Thy saints with holy fear
Shall in thy courts appear,
And sing thine everlasting love. Topics: God Eternal and Sovereign and Holy; God supreme governor; God his power and majesty; Jehovah; Jehovah reigns; God Eternal and Sovereign and Holy; God supreme governor; God his power and majesty; Jehovah; Jehovah reigns Scripture: Psalm 93 Languages: English
