179 ~ He Reigns! the Lord, the Saviour, Reigns

1

He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns; Sing to His name in lofty strains, Let all the saints in songs rejoice, And in His praise exalt their voice.

2

Deep are his counsels, and unknown, But grace and truth support His throne; Though gloomy clouds His ways surround, Justice is their eternal ground.

3

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.

4

His 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.
