The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth; and all ye heav’ns, rejoice!
From world to world the joy shall ring,
“The Lord omnipotent is King.”
The Lord is King! who then shall dare
Resist His will, distrust His care,
Or murmur at His wise decrees,
Or doubt His royal promises?

The Lord is King! Child of the dust,
The Judge of the all the earth is just;
Holy and true are all His ways;
Let ev’ry creature speak His praise.
O, when His wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, His love forsake,
Then may His children cease to sing,
“The Lord omnipotent is King!”

All parts of His dominion lie;
Alike surveyed by His Own eye,
This world of ours, and worlds unseen,
And thin the bound’ry is between.
Come, make your wants, your burdens known;
He will present them at the throne;
And angel bands are waiting there
His loving messages to bear.

He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains;
Your God is King, your Father reigns;
And Christ is at the Father’s side,
The Man of love, the Crucified.
One Lord, one empire, all secures;
He reigns, and life and death are yours:
Through earth and Heav’n one song shall ring,
“The Lord omnipotent is King!”
