Tune: Darwall
(\'Rejoice, the Lord is King\')
Psalm 97
*********
The LORD reigns, let the earth
Rejoice, give Him His worth
Let all the isles be glad
Not be downcast or sad
Clouds and darkness do Him surround
Righteousness, judgement, with Him found
A fire before Him goes
Consuming blaze, it shows
Burns up His enemies
All do His lightnings see
The earth saw, trembled at the sight
The LORD displays His awesome might
Mountains like wax did melt
The LORD\'s presence the yfelt
He LORD the whole earth o\'er
Dominion stretches sure
From coast to coast, and heavens declare
His righteousness, they in it share
The people His glory
Do see, its majesty
Let all those be ashamed
Who have their idols named
Worship the LORD, you peoples all
Turn from idols and on Him call
You that love the LORD, hate
Evil, and trust Him great
He preserves His people
Saves them, they shall not fall
Light is sown for the righteous\' part
And gladness for upright in heart
Rejoice in the LORD, you
Righteous, and give thanks too
At the sure remembrance
Of His holiness, sense
His greatness, He LORD, ever reigns
Each thing created He ordains
