Lyrics

Now un­to Je­ho­vah, ye sons of the migh­ty,
All glo­ry and strength and do­min­ion ac­cord;
Ascribe to Him glo­ry, and ren­der Him hon­or.
In beau­ty of ho­li­ness, wor­ship the Lord.

The voice of Je­ho­vah comes down on the waters;
In thun­der the God of the glo­ry draws nigh;
Lo, ov­er the waves of the wide-flow­ing wa­ters
Jehovah as King is en­thron­èd on high!

The voice of Je­ho­vah is migh­ty, is migh­ty;
The voice of Je­ho­vah in ma­jes­ty speaks;
The voice of Je­ho­vah the ce­dars is break­ing;
Jehovah the ce­dars of Le­ba­non breaks.

Each one in His tem­ple His glo­ry pro­claim­eth.
He sat on the flood; He is King on His throne.
Jehovah all strength to His peo­ple im­part­eth;
Jehovah with peace ev­er bless­eth His own.
