On cherub and cherubim Full royally he rode; And on the wings of mighty winds Came flying all abroad.

He sat serene upon the floods, Their fury to restrain; And he, as sovereign Lord and King, For evermore shall reign.

The Lord will give his people strength, Whereby they shall increase; And he will bless his chosen flock With everlasting peace.

Give glory to his awful name, And honor him alone; Give worship to his majesty, Upon his holy throne.
