He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns;
Praise him in evangelic strains
Let the whole earth in songs rejoice,
And distant islands join their voice.
Deep are his counsels, and unknown,
But grace and truth support his throne;
Though gloomy clouds his ways surround,
Justice is their eternal ground.
In robes of judgement, lo! he comes,
Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs;
Before him burns devouring fire;
The mountains melt, the seas retire.
His enemies, with sore dismay,
Fly from the sight, and shun the day;
Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high,
And sing, for your redemption's nigh.
---Alternative verses---
He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns;
Sing to his name in lofty strains
Let all the earth in songs rejoice,
And in his praise exalt their voice.
He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns;
Sing to his name in lofty strains
Let the whole earth in songs rejoice,
And in his praise exalt their voice.
