OUR GOD IN GLORY.

Dominus regnavit.

Our God in glory reigneth

Majestical, on high,

The Lord, whose hand sustaineth,

The earth and starry sky.

And glorious there his throne, of old,

That shall for aye endure,

Was fixt ere yonder planets rolled,

Or this round world was sure!

The waves, the seas, the waters

Have lifted up their voice,

But God’s unfearing daughters,

Above the storm rejoice;

Their father’s word can still the roar,

For, mightier far than they,

The floods, the winds, the sounding shore,

Shall hear him, and obey.

Oh yes, though loudly raging,

Old Ocean mocks the sky,

His word is heard assuaging,

And down the billows die!

And glory, Lord, thy saints shall sing,

To thee their God alone,

For holiness, Almighty King,

Becomes thy glorious throne!
