1 Let Sion in her King rejoice
Though Tyrants rage, and Kingdoms rise;
He utters his Almighty Voice,
The Nations melt, the Tumult dies.
2 The Lord of old for Jacob fought,
And Jacob's GOD is still our Aid:
Behold the Works his Hand has wrought,
What Desolations he has made.
3 From Sea to Sea, through all the Shores,
He makes the Noise of Battle cease;
When from on high his Thunder roars,
He awes the trembling World to Peace.
4 He breaks the Bow, he cuts the Spear
Chariots he burns with heav'nly Flame;
Keep Silence all the Earth, and hear
The Sound and Glory of his Name.
5 "Be still, and learn that I am GOD,
"I'll be exalted o'er the Lands;
"I will be known and fear'd abroad,
"But still my Throne in Sion stands."
6 O Lord of Hosts, Almighty King,
While we so near thy Presence dwell,
Our Faith shall sit secure, and sing
Defiance to the Gates of Hell.
