Ye Mighty Rulers of the Land

Ye mighty rul­ers of the land

Give praise and glo­ry to the Lord;

And while be­fore His throne ye stand

His great and pow­er­ful acts re­cord.

O ren­der un­to God above

The hon­ors which to Him be­long;

And in the tem­ple of His love

Let wor­ship flow from ev­ery tongue.

His voice is heard the earth around

When through the heav’ns His thun­ders roll;

The trou­bled ocean hears the sound

And yields it­self to His con­trol.

When He up­on the light­ning rides

His voice in loud­est thun­der speaks;

The fie­ry ele­ment di­vides

And earth to its deep cen­ter shakes.

God on the floods has fixed His throne

His gov­ern­ment shall nev­er cease;

He shall His pow­er and strength make known

And bless His chos­en sons with peace.
