Jehovah reigns, his throne is high
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #40 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Backsliding soul pardoned; Pardon of backsliding Lyrics:
Jehovah reigns, his throne is high,
His robes are light and majesty;
His glory shines with beams so bright,
No mortal can sustain the sight.
His terrors keep the world in awe;
His justice guards his holy law;
His love reveals a smiling face;
His truth and promise seal the grace.
Through all his works his wisdom shines,
And baffles Satan's deep designs;
His power is sovereign to fulfil
The noblest counsels of his will.
And will this glorious Lord descend
To be my Father and my Friend?
Then let my songs with angels join;
Heav'n is secure, if God be mine.
Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English
Jehovah reigns, his throne is high
The Lord Jehovah reigns
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #41 (1835) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Topics: Backsliding soul pardoned; Pardon of backsliding Lyrics:
The Lord Jehovah reigns,
His throne is built on high;
The garments he assumes
Are light and majesty:
His glories shine
With beams so bright,
No mortal eye
Can bear the sight.
The thunders of his hand
Keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand
To guard his holy law:
And where his love
Resolves to bless,
His truth confirms
And seals the grace.
Through all his ancient works
Surprising wisdom shines,
Confounds the powers of hell,
And breaks their cursed designs:
Strong is his arm,
And shall fulfil
His great decrees,
His sovereign will.
And can this mighty King
Of glory condescend?
And will he write his name,
"My Father and my Friend?"
I love his name,
I love his word;
Join all my powers
And praise the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 78:32-72 Languages: English
The Lord Jehovah reigns

Let a repenting rebel live;
Are not thy mercies large and free?
May not a sinner trust in thee?
2 My crimes are great, but can't surpass
The power and glory of thy grace:
Great God, thy nature hath no bound,
So let thy pardoning love be found?
3 Oh wash my soul from every sin,
And make my guilty conscience clean;
Here on my heart the burden lies,
And past offenses pain mine eyes.
4 My lips with shame my sins confess
Against thy law, against thy grace;
Lord, should thy judgment grow severe,
I am condemn'd, but thou art clear.
5 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath,
I must pronounce thee just in death;
And if my soul were sent to hell,
Thy righteous law approves it well.
6 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,
Whose hope, still hovering round thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

Hath power sufficient to attone;
Thy blood can make me white as snow;
No Jewish types could cleanse me so.

Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease;

And make my broken heart rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

Tho' all my Crimes before Thee lie,

Is all the Sacrifice I bring;
The God of Grace will ne'er despise
A broken Heart for Sacrifice.
6 My Soul lies humbled in the Dust,
And owns thy dreadful Sentence just;
Look down, O Lord, with pitying Eye,
And save the Soul condemn'd to die.
7 Then will I teach the World thy Ways;
Sinners shall learn thy sov'reign Grace;
I'll lead them to my Saviour's Blood,
And they shall praise a pard'ning God.
8 O may thy Love inspire my Tongue!
Salvation shall be all my Song;
And all my Pow'rs shall join to bless
The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English
