The Lord, the God of glory reigns,
In robes of Majesty arrayed;
His rule omnipotence sustains,
And guides the worlds his hands have made.
Ere rolling worlds began to move,
Or ere the heavens were stretch’d abroad,
Thy awful throne was fixt above:
From everlasting thou art God.
The swelling floods tumultuous rise —
Aloud the angry tempests roar;
Lift their proud billows to the skies,
And foam and lash the trembling share.
The Lord, the mighty God, on high,
Controls the fiercely raging seas;
He speaks, and noise and tempest fly;
the waves sink down in gentle peace.
Thy sovereign laws are ever sure,
Eternal purity is thine;
And, Lord, thy people shall be pure,
And in thy blest resemblance thine.
---Alternative verses---
Ere rolling worlds began to move,
Or ere the heavens were spread abroad,
Thy awful throne was fixed above:
From everlasting thou art God.
Ere rolling worlds began to move,
Or ere the heavens were spread abroad,
Thine awful throne was fixed above:
From everlasting thou art God.
