God Is Still on the Throne

Have you start­ed for glo­ry and Heav­en?

Have you left this old world far be­hind?

In your heart is the Com­fort­er dwell­ing?

Can you say

Praise the Lord

He is mine?

Have the ones that once walked on the high­way

Gone back

and you seem all alone?

Keep your eyes on the prize

For the home in the skies;

God is still on the throne.

God is still on the throne

And He will re­mem­ber His own;

Tho’ tri­als may press us and bur­dens dis­tress us

He nev­er will leave us alone;

God is still on the throne

He nev­er for­sak­eth His own;

His pro­mise is true

He will not for­get you

God is still on the throne.

Burdened soul

is your heart grow­ing wea­ry

With the toil and the heat of the day?

Does it seem that your path is more thor­ny

As you jour­ney along on life’s way?

Go away and in sec­ret be­fore Him

Tell your grief to the Sav­ior alone;

He will light­en your care

For He still an­swers pray­er;

God is still on the throne.

You may live in a tent or a cot­tage

Unnoticed by those who pass by;

But a man­sion for you He is build­ing

In that beau­ti­ful ci­ty on high;

It will out­shine the wealth and the splen­dor

Of the rich­est on earth we have known;

He’s the ar­chi­tect true

And He’s build­ing for you;

God is still on the throne.

He is com­ing again

is the pro­mise

To dis­ci­ples when He went away;

In like man­ner as He has gone from you

You will see Him re­turn­ing some day;

Does His tar­ry­ing cause you to won­der

Does it seem He’s for­got­ten His own?

His pro­mise is true

He is com­ing for you;

God is still on the throne.
