Verse 1
Jehovah reigns on high
In peerless Majesty,
Boundless Power his Royal Robe,
Purest Light his Garment is,
Rules his Word the Spatious Globe,
Stablish’d it in floating Seas.
Verse 2
Antient of Days, thy Name
And Essence is I AM,
Thou, O Lord, and Thou alone
Gav’st whatever Is To be,
Stood thine Everlasting Throne
Stands to all Eternity.
Verse 3
The Floods with angry Noise
Have lifted up their Voice,
Lifted up their Voice on high,
Fiends and Men exclaim aloud,
Rage the Waves, and dash the Sky,
Hell assails the Throne of GOD.
Verse 4
Their Fury cannot move
The Lord who reigns above;
Him the mighty Waves obey,
Sinking at his awful Will,
Ocean owns his sovereign Sway,
Hell at his Command is still.
Verse 5
Thy Statutes, Lord, are sure,
And as Thyself endure,
Thine Eternal House above
Holy Souls alone can see,
Fitted here by Perfect Love
There to reign enthron’d with Thee.
