Jehovah sits in state,
And from his royal throne,
Scatters his blessings all abroad,
Or pours the vengeance down.
The sceptre and the rod,
He holds with steady hand;
And in his sight, both kings and slaves,
Upon a level stand.
His wisdom, power, and grace,
In all his actions shine;
Yet they are high above our reach,
And deep beyond our line.
Then prostrate at his feet,
Let every creature lie;
Such worthless worms can’t fall too low,
Nor he be raised too high.
