The God of Abraham praise, Who reigns enthroned above; Ancient of everlasting days, And God of love:

Je

hovah, Great I Am! By earth and heav'n con-fessed: I bow and bless the sacred name, For ever blest.

HADDAM H. M.

Arr. by L. Mason

The Lord Je-ho-vah reigns; His throne is built on high; The garments He assumes Arelight and majesty;

[blocks in formation]

THE Lord Jehovah reigns;

His throne is built on high; The garments He assumes

Are light and majesty;

His glories shine with beams so bright
No mortal eye can bear the sight.

2 The thunders of His hand
Keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand
To guard His holy law;

And where His love resolves to bless,
His truth confirms and seals the grace.

3 And can this mighty King

Of glory condescend?
And will He write His name,
My Father and my Friend?

I love His name, I love His word;
Join all my powers, and praise the Lord!

Isaac Watts 1709

GOD is love; that anthem olden
Sing the glorious orbs of light,
In their language glad and golden
Telling to us day and night

Their great story,
God is love, and God is might!

2 And the teeming earth rejoices
In that message from above,
With ten thousand thousand voices,
Telling back from hill and grove
Her glad story,

God is might, and God is love!

109

THE Lord Jehovah lives,

And blesséd be my Rock!

Though earth her bosom heaves
And mountains feel the shock,
Though oceans rage and torrents roar,
He is the same for evermore.

2 The Lord Jehovah lives,
The dying sinner's Friend;
How freely He forgives

The follies that offend!
He wipes the penitential tear,
Bids faith and hope the spirit cheer.

3 The Lord Jehovah lives

To hear and answer prayer; Whoe'er in Him believes

And trusts His guardian care, A Father's tender love shall know, Whence living streams of comfort flow.

Thomas Hastings 1847

3 Through these anthems of creation, Struggling up with gentle strife, Christian songs of Christ's salvation, To the world with blessings rife, Tell their story,

God is love, and God is life!

4 Up to Him let each affection
Daily rise, and round Him move;
Our whole lives one resurrection
To the life of life above;

Our glad story

God is life, and God is love!

John Samuel Bewley Monsell 1866

God the Lord a King re-main-eth, Robed in His own glorious light! God hath robed Him,

and He reigneth! He hath girded Him with might! Hal-le-lu-jah! God is King in depth and height!

113

GOD the Lord a King remaineth,

Robed in His own glorious light! God hath robed Him, and He reigneth! He hath girded Him with might! Hallelujah!

God is King in depth and height!

2 In her everlasting station

Earth is poised to swerve no more! Thou hast laid Thy throne's foundation, From all time where thought can soar, Hallelujah!

Lord, Thou art for evermore!

3 Lord, the water-floods have lifted, Ocean-floods have lift their roar! Now they pause where they have drifted,

Now they burst upon the shore.

Hallelujah!

For the ocean's sounding store!

4 With all tones of waters blending,
Glorious is the breaking deep!
Glorious, beauteous, without ending,
God who reigns on Heaven's high steep!
Hallelujah!

Songs of ocean never sleep.

5 Lord, the words Thy lips are telling,
Are the perfect verity;

Of Thine high eternal dwelling
Holiness shall inmate be!

Hallelujah!

Pure is all that lives with Thee!
John Keble 1836
