Jehovah Reigns—He Dwells in Light

Jehovah reigns—He dwells in light

Girded with ma­je­sty and might;

The world

cre­at­ed by His hands

Still on its first foun­da­tion stands.

But ere this spa­cious world was made

Or had its first foun­da­tions laid

Thy throne eter­nal ag­es stood

Thyself the ev­er liv­ing God.

Like floods

the an­gry na­tions rise

And aim their rage against the skies;

Vain floods

that aim their rage so high!

At Thy re­buke the bil­lows die.

For ev­er shall Thy throne en­dure;

Thy pro­mise stands for ev­er sure;

And ev­er­last­ing ho­li­ness

Becomes the dwell­ings of Thy grace.
