- 1He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns!
- Sing to his name in lofty strains,
- Let all the saints in songs rejoice,
- And in his praise exalt their voice.
- 2Deep are his counsels, and unknown,
- But grace and truth support his throne;
- Though gloomy clouds his way surround,
- Justice is their eternal ground.
- 3In robes of judgment, lo, he comes!
- Shakes the wide earth, and cleaves the tombs;
- Before him burns devouring fire,
- The mountains melt, the seas retire.
- 4His enemies with wild dismay
- Fly from the sight, and shun the day;
- Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high,
- And sing, for your redemption's nigh.
