The LORD is King! With joyful sound
1 The LORD is King! With joyful sound
let all the earth in him delight,
whom cloud and deepest dark surround,
whose throne is justice, truth and right.
2 Before him fires of judgment go,
his lightnings blaze his advent forth,
the mountains melt like wax and flow
before the Lord of all the earth.
3 His righteousness the heavens proclaim,
his glory all the peoples see;
the pagan world is put to shame:
to him all gods must bow the knee.
4 His people hear; with joy they cry
to see the judgments he ordains,
for he, the LORD, is God Most High,
and far above all gods he reigns.
5 Let everyone who loves the LORD
hate evil, as his word commands;
his faithful people he will guard,
delivering them from wicked hands.
6 So light will shine upon the just,
and joy on hearts kept clear of blame,
who gladly make the LORD their trust
and ever praise his holy name.
