1 The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth, and all the heavens, rejoice!
From world to world the joy shall ring:
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"
2 The Lord is King! who then shall dare
Resist His will, distrust His care?
Holy and true are all His ways:
Let every creature speak His praise.
3 The Lord is King! exalt your strains:
Ye saints, your God, your Father reigns;
One Lord one empire all secures:
He reigns, and life and death are yours.
4 Oh, when His wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, His love forsake,
Then may His children cease to sing,
"The Lord omnipotent is King!"
