Jehovah Reigns in Majesty

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: Württemberg, Germany, 1784

Jehovah reigns in ma­jes­ty

Let all the na­tions quake;

He dwells be­tween the che­rub­im

Let earth’s foun­da­tions shake.

Supreme in Zi­on is the Lord

Exalted glo­ri­ous­ly

Ye na­tions

praise His name with awe

The Ho­ly One is He.

The migh­ty King loves jus­tice well

And eq­ui­ty or­dains;

He rules His peo­ple right­eous­ly

And faith­ful­ness maint­ains.

O mag­ni­fy the Lord our God

Let Him ex­alt­ed be;

In wor­ship at His foot­stool bow

The Ho­ly One is He.

When priests and pro­phets called on God

He their pe­ti­tions heard;

His cloudy pil­lar led them on

And they ob­eyed His Word.

Though send­ing judg­ments for their sins

He par­doned gra­cious­ly;

Exalt the Lord and wor­ship Him

The Ho­ly One is He.
