Amid the Fears That Oppress Our Day

Amid the fears that op­press our day

Across the clouds that ob­scure our way

One gold­en truth sheds its shin­ing ray—

Our God is sov­er­eign still.

His ho­ly pur­pose un­chang­ing stands

The stars still turn at their Lord’s com­mands;

He holds the world in His migh­ty hands—

Our God is sov­er­eign still!

Our God is sov­er­eign still!

Though wars may rise

and though king­doms fall

Though ills may threat­en

and fears en­thrall

Our God still lives

and He hears our call—

Our God is sov­er­eign still.

Though fierce the fight ’gainst the hosts of wrong

His Word is sure

and His arm is strong;

The day is His: raise His triumph song—

Our God is sov­er­eign still.

When Christ shall come to re­ceive His own

When His the king­dom

the pow’r

the throne

Eternal King He shall reign alone—

Our God is sov­er­eign still.
