Author: Josiah Conder (1789-1855) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #796b (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice;
from world to world the joy shall ring,
'The Lord omnipotent is King!'
2 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?
3 He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains;
your God is King, your Father reigns;
and he is at the Father's side,
the Man of love, the Crucified.
4 Alike pervaded by his eye
all parts of his dominion lie:
this world of ours and worlds unseen,
and thin the boundary between!
5 One Lord one empire all secures;
he reigns, and life and death are yours;
through earth and heaven one song shall ring,
'The Lord omnipotent is King!' Topics: God in majesty; God Power of; Kingdom of God; Ascension Day Scripture: Romans 9:19-24 Languages: English Tune Title: NIAGARA
The Lord is King! lift up thy voice
