PSALM 97. v. 1–5. First Part. (L. M.) Christ reigning in Heaven, and coming to Judgment.
I
He reigns; the Lord, the Saviour reigns;Praise him in evangelic strains;
Let the whole earth in songs rejoice,
And distant islands join their voice.
II
Deep are his counsels and unknown;But grace and truth support his throne:
Tho' gloomy clouds his ways surround,
Justice is their eternal ground.
III
In 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.
IV
His enemies, with sore dismay,Fly from the sight, and shun the day;
Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high,
And sing, for your redemption's nigh.
