The Lord is King!

Josiah Conder (1836) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 2:7

Verse 1

The Lord is King! lift up thy voice, O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice; from world to world the joy shall ring, 'The Lord omnipotent is King!'

Verse 2

The Lord is King! who then shall dare resist his will, distrust his care, or murmur at his wise decrees, or doubt his royal promises?

Verse 3

He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains; your God is King, your Father reigns; and he is at the Father's side, the Man of love, the Crucified.

Verse 4

Alike pervaded by his eye all parts of his dominion lie: this world of ours and worlds unseen, and thin the boundary between!

Verse 5

One Lord one empire all secures; he reigns, and life and death are yours; through earth and heaven one song shall ring, 'The Lord omnipotent is King!'
