The Holiness of God

Verse 1

God is King forever: let the nations tremble; throned above the cherubim, by all the earth adored; He is great in Zion, high above all peoples; praise Him with fear, for holy is the LORD.

Verse 2

Merciful as mighty, He delights in justice, for He reigns in righteousness and rules in equity; worship and exalt Him, bowing down before Him, perfect in pow'r and holiness is He.

Verse 3

Holy men of old in Him alone confided; He forgave their sins, although they felt His chast'ning rod; in His holy temple worship and adore Him, faithful and holy is the LORD our God.
