Jehovah Reigns, Enthroned in State

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 99

Verse 1

Jehovah reigns enthroned in state; Ten thousand angels round Him wait, To bless and scourge at His award. Tremble, thou earth, before your LORD!

Verse 2

High o'er this little world of sin, He sits, and orders all therein. Ye nations, own with one accord, The holy, holy, holy LORD!

Verse 3

Jehovah reigns, He loves the right; And sin with judgment will requite. But ah, His people can declare, How well He hears contrition's prayer.

Verse 4

O Wise and Good! Thou canst, Thou will, The guilty spare, and slay the guilt. Let heart and voice with one accord, Adore the holy, holy LORD!
