1.

Jehovah reigns: Ye Nations own,
With prostrate hearts, his sway:
Betwixt the Cherubs stands his Throne;
Earth! tremble and obey.

2.

His Rule, in Sion long confest,
O'er All extends; his Name
Shall hallow with its fear each breast,
Each tongue with zeal inflame.

3.

Thy Pow'r with Equity allied
Through time's long course has stood:
Thy Judgements Jacob , Lord, has tried,
And knows them just and good.

4.

Let Each, with humble joy clate,
Before thy footstool bow;
Thee, ceaseless, praise: For who so great,
So holy, Lord, as Thou?

5.

By God with sacred honours crown'd,
See Moses , Aaron see,
And Samuel , ever faithful found,
To Him incline the knee.

6.

To Him the favour'd Three aloud
The frequent Vow prefer'd,
And instant from the pillar'd cloud
His awful Answer heard.

7.

With wakeful zeal their bosoms burn'd;
Observant of his Will,
With joy the heav'nly precept learn'd,
And hasten'd to fulfil.

8.

To Thee, great God, their ev'ry pray'r
In full acceptance rose:
Thy hand their weakness knew to spare,
And, pitying, heal'd their woes.

9.

Yet could thy Wrath, when Sin had dar'd
Their erring breast to stain,
Deal to their guilt its just reward,
And vindicate thy Reign.

10.

Let Each, with humble joy clate,
On Sion 's Mountain bow;
Thee, ceaseless, praise: For who so great,
So holy, Lord, as Thou?
