Tune: | [The Lord is King! lift up thy voice] |
Composer: | George F. Root |
1 The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth! and all ye heav'ns, 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,
Or murmur at His wise decrees,
Or doubt His royal promises?
3 The Lord is King! child of the dust,
The Judge of the all the earth is just;
Holy and true are all His ways;
Let ev’ry creature speak His praise.
4 O when His wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, His love forsake,
Then may His children cease to sing,
The Lord omnipotent is King!
5 One Lord, one empire, all secures;
He reigns, and life and death are yours:
Thro’ earth and heav'n one song shall ring,
The Lord omnipotent is King!
