Praise His name, at whose command, By th' Almighty word controll'd! II. Praise Jehovah, all below Watery depths, and all that be In the wonder-teeming sea; Central fire and icy hail, Dews, and snow, and stormy gale, Blowing only as He wills; Ancient mountains, wood-clad hills, Palm and olive, oak and pine, Waving corn and clustering vine; Forest beasts, and bleating herds, Creeping things, and soaring birds, And rivers as ye flow: Monarchs, with your people all, Princes, peasants, great and small; D Manly youth and virgins shy, Age and lisping infancy, Praise Jehovah's glorious name: He alone doth worship claim. But His glory, vast, sublime, Passes earth, and heaven, and time. He His chosen seed hath blest: They should praise their Maker best. O ye saints, His love record: Praise, for ever praise the Lord! "Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth."—Rev. xix. 6. THE Lord is King! lift up thy voice, O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice! The Lord is King! who then shall dare Resist His will, distrust his care, Or murmur at his wise decrees, Or doubt his royal promises? The Lord is King! child of the dust, He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains : And He is at the Father's side, The Man of love, the Crucified. Come, make your wants, your burdens known; He will present them at the throne; And angel bands are waiting there, His messages of love to bear. Oh, when His wisdom can mistake, His might decay, his love forsake, One Lord, one empire, all secures : He reigns and life and death are yours. Through earth and heaven one song shall ring, The Lord Omnipotent is King. Он, how shall feeble flesh and blood The holy kingdom of our God, Despising all that worldlings love, He who made all things, He who said, Let there be light, can give This saving strength, can raise the dead, And bid the sinner live. And will not He who ransom'd man, A Saviour's work fulfil? |
