Lyrics

The God Je­ho­vah reigns,
Let all the na­tions fear;
Let sin­ners trem­ble at His throne,
And saints be hum­ble there.

Jesus the Sav­ior reigns,
Let earth ad­ore its Lord;
Bright cher­ubs His at­tend­ants stand,
Swift to ful­fill His word.

In Zi­on is His throne,
His hon­ors are di­vine;
His Church shall make His won­ders known,
For there His glo­ries shine.

How ho­ly is His name!
How ter­ri­ble His praise!
Justice and truth and judg­ment join
In all His works of grace.
