1 God, the Lord, a King remaineth,
Robed in His own glorious light;
God hath robed Himself and reigneth;
He hath girt Himself with might.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
God is King in depth and height!
God is King in depth and height!
2 In her everlasting station
Earth is poised, to swerve no more;
Thou hast laid Thy throne's foundation
From all time where thought can soar.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Lord, Thou art forevermore!
Lord, Thou art forevermore!
3 With all tones of waters blending,
Glorious is the breaking deep;
Glorious, beauteous, without ending,
God, who reigns on heaven's high steep.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Songs of ocean never sleep.
Songs of ocean never sleep.
4 Lord, the words Thy lips are telling
Are the perfect verity;
Of Thine high eternal dwelling,
Holiness shall inmate be:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Pure is all that lives with Thee.
Pure is all that lives with Thee.
Amen.
