The mighty Lord, the great Jehovah reigns

Thomas Cradock • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 93

Verse 1

The mighty Lord, the great Jehovah reigns; Who form'd the worlds, and still the worlds sustains; The Lord, who gives to humble worth his aid, Girded with strength, in majesty array'd.

Verse 2

Firm and unmoveable his awful throne, His pow'r no flux, no change of time has known.

Verse 3

Let the wild stormy sea tumultuous roar, And threaten with her turbid waves the shore; He stays her mad'ning fury at his will; Aw'd by his dread behest, her waves are still.

Verse 4

What once our God ordains, is firm and sure; What he once bids, for ever shall endure; Long as this solid world shall stand, O Lord, Shall last the solemn dictates of thy word.
