The Lord, in His Righteousness

lyricist: Katharine Annin, 1920
Composer: 16th Century Dutch

The Lord

in His right­eous­ness

judg­es the peo­ple;

The mount­ains and hills by His rule are se­cure;

The men of all na­tions

through­out all ge­ne­ra­tions

Shall hon­or Him as long as the sun shall en­dure.

His bless­ings He scat­ters like show’rs from the heav­ens

Like rain on the fields when the grass is new mown;

His peace is des­cend­ing

abun­dant

nev­er end­ing;

The needy and op­pressed doth He count as His own.

From sea un­to sea shall He spread His do­min­ion

From ends of the earth to the riv­ers that run;

The isles of the ocean shall of­fer Him de­vo­tion

All kings shall bow be­fore Him

all na­tions be one.
