God The Lord Is King; Before Him
Earth With All Thy Nations Wait!
Where The Cherubim Adore Him,
Sitteth He In Royal State;
He Is Holy,
Blessed, Only Potentate!
God The Lord Is King, Of Glory,
Zion, Tell The World His Name;
Ancient Israel, The Story
Of His Faithfulness Proclaim;
He Is Holy,
Holy Is His Awful Name.
In Old Times When Dangers Darkened,
When, Invoked By Priest And Seer,
To His People’s Cry He Hearkened,
Answered Them In All Their Fear;
He Is Holy,
As They Called, They Found Him Near.
Laws Divine To Them Were Spoken
From The Pillar Of The Cloud;
Sacred Precepts! Quickly Broken,
Fiercely Then His Vengeance Flowed;
He Is Holy,
To The Dust Their Hearts Were Bowed.
But Their Father God Forgave Them,
When They Sought His Face Once More;
Ever Ready Was To Save Them,
Tenderly Did He Restore;
He Is Holy,
We Too Will His Grace Implore.
God In Christ Is All Forgiving,
Waits His Promise To Fulfil;
Come, Exalt Him All The Living,
Come, Ascend His Holy Hill;
He Is Holy,
Worship At His Holy Hill.
