- 1Jehovah reigns; his throne is high;
- His robes are light and majesty;
- His glory shines with beams so bright,
- No mortal can sustain the sight.
- 2His terrors keep the world in awe;
- His justice guards his holy law;
- Yet love reveals a smiling face,
- His truth and promise seal the grace.
- 3And will this glorious Lord descend
- To be my Father and my Friend?
- Then let my songs with angels join;
- Heaven is secure, if God be mine.
