PSALM 97. Third Part. (L. M.) Grace and Glory.
I
Th' Almighty reigns exalted highO'er all the earth, o'er all the sky;
Tho' clouds and darkness veil his feet,
His dwelling is the mercy-seat.
II
O ye that love his holy name,Hate every work of sin and shame;
He guards the souls of all his friends,
And from the snares of hell defends.
III
Immortal light and joys unknownAre for the saints in darkness sown;
Those glorious seeds shall spring and rise,
And the bright harvest bless our eyes.
IV
Rejoice, ye righteous, and recordThe sacred honours of the Lord;
None but the soul that feels his grace
Can triumph in his holiness.
