HADDAM H. M.

Arr. by L. MASON

THE Lord Jehovah reigns;
His throne is built on high;
The garments He assumes

Are light and majesty ;

His glories shine with beams so bright
No mortal eye can bear the sight.

2 The thunders of His hand
Keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand
To guard His holy law;

And where His love resolves to bless,
His truth confirms and seals the grace.

3 And can this mighty King
Of glory condescend?
And will He write His name,
My Father and my Friend?

I love His name, I love His word;
Join all my powers, and praise the Lord!

THE Lord Jehovah lives,

Isaac Watts 1709

And blesséd be my Rock! Though earth her bosom heaves

L. P. M.
I'LL praise my Maker with my breath;
And when my voice is lost in death,

Praise shall employ my nobler powers;
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.

2 Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God: He made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their train;
His truth forever stands secure ;
He saves the oppressed, He feeds the poor,
And none shall find His promise vai

And mountains feel the shock, Though oceans rage and torrents roar, He is the same for evermore.

2 The Lord Jehovah lives,

The dying sinner's Friend;
How freely He forgives

The follies that offend!
He wipes the penitential tear,
Bids faith and hope the spirit cheer.

3 The Lord Jehovah lives

To hear and answer prayer; Whoe'er in Him believes

And trusts His guardian care,

A Father's tender love shall know,
Whence living streams of comfort flow.

4 The Lord Jehovah lives

Salvation to secure ; The title that He gives

Will be forever sure;

'Tis drawn in characters of blood, "Tis issued from the throne of God. Thomas Hastings 1847

GOD the Lord a King remaineth,

Robed in His own glorious light! God hath robed Him, and He reigneth! He hath girded Him with might! Hallelujah!

God is King in depth and height! 2 In her everlasting station

Earth is poised to swerve no more! Thou hast laid Thy throne's foundation, From all time where thought can soar, Hallelujah!

Lord, Thou art for evermore!
3 Lord, the water-floods have lifted,
Ocean-floods have lift their roar!
Now they pause where they have drifted,

REGENT SQUARE 8s, 7s, 4.

Now they burst upon the shore.
Hallelujah!

For the ocean's sounding store!

4 With all tones of waters blending,
Glorious is the breaking deep!
Glorious, beauteous, without ending,
God who reigns on Heaven's high steep!
Hallelujah!

Songs of ocean never sleep.

5 Lord, the words Thy lips aie telling, Are the perfect verity;

Of Thine high eternal dwelling
Holiness shall inmate be!

Hallelujah!

Pure is all that lives with Thee!
