1 God, the Lord, a King remaineth,
Robed in his own glorious light;
God hath robed himself and reigneth;
He hath girt himself with might.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
God is King in depth and height!
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.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Lord, thou art forevermore!
Lord, thou art forevermore!
3 With all tones of waters blending,
Glorious is the breaking deep;
Glorious, beauteous, without ending,
God, who reigns on heaven's high steep.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Songs of ocean never sleep.
Songs of ocean never sleep.
4 Lord, the words thy lips are telling
Are the perfect verity;
Of thy high eternal dwelling,
Holiness shall inmate be:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Pure is all that lives with thee.
Pure is all that lives with thee.
Amen.
