Tune: Church Triumphant
('The Lord is King, lift up thy voice')
Psalm 47
********
O clap your hands, all you people
Shout unto God in triumph all
For the Lord most high, terrible* (*awesome)
Awesome, come now, unto Him call
He o'er all the earth a great King
Bring praises, worship to Him sing
He shall subdue peoples, nations
They shall be servants unto us
He shall choose our inheritance
Israel His people, not mere chance
God is gone up with a shout loud
With sound of trumpet, cloud's enshroud
Sing praises to our God and king
Let all their honours, tributes bring
Sing praises with understanding
And thankful too for each good thing
God reigns o'er heathen, sits on throne
His is the Lordship, His alone
Throne of His holiness, He great
Does tend to men* in their estate (*mankind)
