Know that a throne is set in Heav’n,
What ra­di­ant light dis­pels the gloom?
And on the seas doth ride.
And feasts His saints to­day;
I’m gonna stand up,
All ex­cel­len­cies meet,
Tranquil riv­er, let me ev­er
Of our al­migh­ty Fa­ther’s throne!
To him I will give
The light­nings fly quick round His throne,
Well and faith­ful­ly done!

With the holy an­gels by it,
The Lord did say un­to my Lord,
Winning praise from rich and no­ble,

sit

Oh, what words I hear Him say!
When there is wild con­fus­ion round,
The earth doth mourn her trea­sures lost,
And tem­pests rage in vain;
And love, and praise, and pray.
Clap my hands,
And shall for­ev­er sit;
Tranquil riv­er, let me ev­er
Clothed in a bo­dy like our own.
As I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne.
All na­ture trem­bles at His frown,
Enter in­to My joy, and sit down on My throne!
Feasting on the Christ that’s growing in all the saints;
Appear along the way.
Until I make Thy foes a stool,
You can ga­ther in the child­ren,
Thine own seed—this is My vow.”
And His fruit is sweet to my taste.
Heaven's mercy seat
In ma­jes­ty most bright,
