The great Jehovah reigns ; The thunders are His awful voice ;
Our life His will ordains ;
The glories of His Name The lightnings, floods, and hail proclaim.
He rules by sea and land,
O'er boundless realms He sways ; He holds the oceans in His hand,
And mighty mountains weighs :
Unequalled and alone In majesty He fills His throne.

By His prevailing might; The earth's foundations He hath laid,
And scattered ancient night;
When heaven, and earth, and sea. Proclaimed His awful majesty.

First gleamed with ruddy light, And yonder moon, with silver ray,
Marched up the vault of night;
And stars bedecked the skies, That seemed creation's thousand eyes ;
And earth's fair form was seen,
With flowers and blossoms drest; And trees, and fields, and meadows green,
Adorned her youthful breast,
Hung out in boundless space, -Amid the ocean's cool embrace ;
