Reigning Ruler

orchidee



Tune: Camberwell

(one tune to 'At the name of Jesus')

Psalm 96 v.10-13 and Psalm 97 v.1-2

**************

Say among the nations

To their daughters, sons

That the Lord reigns, the world

Is to us unfurled

It be firm established

Just as he has wished

Shall not be moved, firm stands

To the farthest lands

 

He shall judge the people

With righteousness all

Let the heavens rejoice

Praise Him with one voice

And let the earth be glad

Hearts no longer sad

Let the sea roar, fulness

Therein shall He bless

 

Let the fields be joyful

That within them, all

Then shall all the trees praise

Him, woods worship raise

All creations joins to

Extol Him anew

He comes to judge rightly

With truth, equity

 

The Lord reigns, let the earth

Give to Him His worth

And rejoice, let many

Isles be glad, so be

Clouds and darkness are round

About him, there found

Righteousness, judgement, they

From His throne alway

    I've heard of raining cat's n dogs but reigning rulers must surely be the yard-stick from and by which to measure just about anything .. N 🙂

      Yes lol. Thanks N. I've never seen any rulers falling from the sky. Would that be reigning or raining?!
