Reigning Ruler

orchidee



Tune: Christchurch

('Now is eternal life')

Psalm 97 v.1-7

*********

The Lord reigns, earth rejoice

And praise Him with one voice

Let all the isles be glad

Not now downcast or sad

For He reigns, judgement and justice

He shall do faithfully, true this

 

Clouds and darkness surround

Him, enfold Him around

Righteousness, judgement be

His habitation, see

Of His throne, a fire goes before

Him, burns up enemies, 'tis sure

 

His lightnings they lightened

The world, He does them send

The hills like wax did melt

The Lord's presence they felt

The Lord of the whole earth is He

Now and e'erlastingly shall be

 

The heavens they declare

His righteousness, it fair

And all the people see

his glory, majesty

Let all be ashamed who idols

Serve, but prosper who on Him calls
