And works His sovereign will.

Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

And scan His work in vain;
God is His own Interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

With songs and honors sounding loud
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 279 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 97 Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high;
Over the heavens he spreads his cloud,
And waters veil the sky.

To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.

Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
4 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
5 He sends his word and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
6 When from his dreadful stores on high
He pours the sounding hail,
The wretch that dares his God defy,
Shall find his courage fail.
7 The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey his mighty word:
With songs and honors sounding loud,
Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Topics: Attributes of God Providence; In the Seasons

Surprising wisdom shines;
Confounds the powers of hell,
And breaks their cursed designs:

His great decrees, his sovereign will.

Of glory condescend--
And will he write his name,
My Father and my Friend?

To sing the choicest psalm of praise,
To sing and bless Jehovah's name:

His wonders to the nations show
And all his saving works proclaim.

The wondering nations read thy word,
But here Jehovah's name is known:
Nor shall our worship e'er be paid
To gods which mortal hands have made;
Our Maker is our GOD alone.

He made the shining worlds on high,
And reigns complete in glory there
His beams are majesty and light;
His beauties, how divinely bright!
His temple, how divinely fair!

When earth shall feel his saving power,
And barbarous nations fear his name:
Then shall the race of man confess
The beauty of his holiness,
And in his courts his grace proclaim.

He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns;
Praise him in evangelic strains
Let the whole earth in songs rejoice,
And distant islands join their voice.
Deep are his counsels, and unknown,
But grace and truth support his throne;
Though gloomy clouds his ways surround,
Justice is their eternal ground.
In robes of judgment, lo! he comes,
Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs;
Before him burns devouring fire;
The mountains melt, the seas retire.
His enemies, with sore dismay,
Fly from the sight, and shun the day;
Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high,
And sing, for your redemption's nigh.

Jehovah reigns, let all the Earth
Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 97 Lyrics: 1 Jehovah reigns, let all the Earth
In his just Government rejoice;
Let all the Isles with sacred Mirth,
In his Applause unite their Voice.
2 Darkness and Clouds of awful Shade
His dazzling Glory shroud in State;
Justice and Truth his Guards are made
And fix'd by his Pavilion wait.
3 Devouring Fire before his Face
His foes around with Vengeance struck;
4 His Lightnings set the World on blaze;
Earth saw it, and with Terror shook.
5 The proudest Hills his Presence felt,
Their Height nor Strength could Help afford,
The proudest Hills, like Wax did melt
In Presence of th' Almighty Lord.
6 The Heav'ns his Righteousness to show,
With Storms of Fire our Foes pursu'd,
And all the trembling World below,
Have his descending Glory view'd.
7 Counfounded by their impious Host,
Who make the Gods to whom they pray;
All who of Pageant Idols boast,
To him, ye Gods, your Worship pay.
8 Glad Sion of thy Triumph heard,
And Judah's Daughters were o'erjoy'd;
Because thy righteous Judgments, Lord,
Have Pagan Pride and Pow'r destroy'd.
9 For thou, O God, art seated high,
Above Earth's Potentates enthron'd:
Thou, Lord, unrivall'd in the Sky,
Supreme by all the gods art own'd.
10 You who to serve this Lord aspire,
Abhor what's Ill, and Truth esteem:
He'll keep his Servants Souls entire,
And them from wicked hands redeem.
11 For Seeds are sown of glorious Light,
A future Harvest for the Just;
And Gladness for the heart upright,
To remcompense its pious Trust.
12 Rejoice, ye Righteous, in the Lord;
Memorials of his Holiness,
Deep in your faithful Breasts record,
And with your thankful Tongues confess.
Jehovah reigns, let all the Earth
Psalm 97

Ye islands of the northern sea,
Rejoice, the Savior reigns;
His word, like fire, prepares his way,
And mountains melt to plains.
His presence sinks the proudest hills,
And makes the valleys rise;
The humble soul enjoys his smiles,
The haughty sinner dies.
The heav'ns his rightful power proclaim,
The idol-gods around
Fill their own worshippers with shame,
And totter to the ground.
Adoring angels at his birth
Make the Redeemer known:
Thus shall he come to judge the earth,
And angels guard his throne.
His foes shall tremble at his sight,
And hills and seas retire;
His children take their unknown flight,
And leave the world in fire.
The seeds of joy and glory sown
For saints in darkness here,
Shall rise and spring in worlds unknown,
And a rich harvest bear.

thy works into his hands,
and rest on his unchanging word,
who heav'n and earth commands.
3 Though years on years roll on,
his cov'nant shall endure;
though clouds and darkness hide his path,
the promised grace is sure.
4 Give to the winds thy fears;
hope, and be undismayed:
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head.
5 Through waves and clouds and storms
his pow'r will clear thy way:
wait thou his time; the darkest night
shall end in brightest day.
6 Leave to his sov'reign sway
to choose and to command;
so shalt thou, wond'ring, own his way,
how wise, how strong his hand. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Grace and Providence; Lent; The Journey of Life; Year A Epiphany 3; Year A Proper 13; Year B Bible Sunday; Year C Easter 7; Year C Lent 2; Year C Lent 3; Years A, B, and C Easter Vigil Used With Tune: DONCASTER

Jehovah Reigns; Let Earth Be Glad
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 97 First Line: Jehovah reigns, let earth be glad Lyrics: 1 Jehovah reigns; let earth be glad,
and all the isles their joy make known;
with clouds and darkness he is clad,
on truth and justice rests his throne.
2 Consuming fire destroys his foes,
around the world his lightnings blaze;
the trembling earth his presence knows,
the mountains melt before his gaze.
3 The heav'ns his righteousness proclaim,
through earth his glory shines abroad;
from idol worship turn with shame
and bow before the living God.
4 Your church rejoices to behold
your judgments in the earth, O Lord;
your glory to the world unfold,
supreme o'er all you are adored.
5 All you that truly love the Lord,
hate sin, for he is just and pure;
to saints his help he will accord
and keep them in his love secure.
6 For good men light and joy are sown
to bless them in the harvesttime;
O saints, your joy in God make known
and ever praise his name sublime.

O Day of Peace
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 97:2 First Line: O day of peace that dimly shines Lyrics: 1 O day of peace that dimly shines
through all our hopes and prayers and dreams,
guide us to justice, truth, and love,
delivered from our selfish schemes.
May swords of hate fall from our hands,
our hearts from envy find release,
till by God's grace our warring world
shall see Christ's promised reign of peace.
2 Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb,
nor shall the fierce devour the small;
as beasts and cattle calmly graze,
a little child shall lead them all.
Then enemies shall learn to love,
all creatures find their true accord;
the hope of peace shall be fulfilled,
for all the earth shall know the Lord.
