Christ Reigning in Heaven, and Coming to Judgement

Verse 1

He reigns! The Lord our Savior reigns! Praise him in evangelic strains; let all the earth in songs rejoice and distant islands join their voice.

Verse 2

In robes of judgment, lo, he comes! He shakes the earth, and cleaves the tombs; before him burns devouring fire, the mountains melt, the seas retire.

Verse 3

Deep are his counsels, long unknown; his grace and truth support his throne; rejoice, ye righteous, and record the sacred honors of our Lord.
