1 O the Almighty Lord! How matchless is his power! Tremble, O earth, beneath his word, And all the heavens adore.
2 Let proud imperious kings Bow low before his throne, Crouch to his feet, ye haughty things, Or he shall tread you down.
3 Above the skies he reigns, And with amazing blows He deals unsufferable pains On his rebellious foes.
4 Yet, everlasting God, We love to speak thy praise; Thy sceptre's equal to thy rod, The sceptre of thy grace.
5 The arms of mighty love Defend our Sion well, And heavenly mercy walls us round From Babylon and hell.
6 Salvation to the King That sits enthron'd above; Thus we adore the God of might, And bless the God of love.
