Jehovah Reigns, Let Earth Be Glad

Jehovah reigns

let earth be glad

And all the isles their joy make known;

With clouds and dark­ness He is clad

On truth and jus­tice rests His throne.

Consuming fire de­stroys His foes

Around the world His light­nings blaze;

The trem­bling earth His pre­sence knows

The mount­ains melt be­fore His gaze.

The heav’ns His right­eous­ness pro­claim

Through earth His glo­ry shines abroad;

From id­ol wor­ship turn with shame

And bow be­fore the liv­ing God.

Thy Church re­joic­es to be­hold

Thy judg­ments in the earth

O Lord;

Thy glo­ry to the world un­fold

Supreme o’er all be Thou ad­ored.

All ye that tru­ly love the Lord

Hate sin

for He is just and pure;

To saints His help He will ac­cord

And keep them in His love se­cure.

For good men light and joy are sown

To bless them in the har­vest time;

Ye saints

your joy in God make known

And ev­er praise His name sub­lime.
