We Know that God is On the Throne

Author: Geo. O. Webster Appears in 4 hymnals Refrain First Line: Our God is on the throne Lyrics: 1 We know that God is on the throne, Though strife and sin are here; And when the years have older grown, And men shall see more clear, The tumult and the strife will cease, And truth and right have sway; God speed for us the reign of peace, We humbly pray. 2 We know that God is on the throne, For we can clearly trace, As centuries have come and gone, His purposes of grace; And though at times the mists appear, And doubtings may arise, The dark’ning skies as quickly clear In glad surprise. 3 We know that God is on the throne, His pow’r can never fail; And ere the years of time are flown, His gospel shall prevail, And men shall live to serve in love, While each his place shall fill, The earth-life, like to that above, In God’s goodwill. Coda: Our God is on the throne, The coming days will show, And watching o’er His own, As the ages flow; Our God is reigning still, And though we may not see, Is working out His holy will To all eternity.
