God the Lord is King—before him
Earth, with all thy nations, wait!
Where the cherubim adore him,
Sitteth he in royal state:
He is holy;
Blessed, only Potentate!

God the Lord is King of glory,
Zion, tell the world his fame;
Ancient Israel, the story
Of his faithfulness proclaim:
He is holy;
Holy is his awful name.
Zion, tell the world his fame;
Ancient Israel, the story
Of his faithfulness proclaim:
He is holy;
Holy is his awful name.
In old times when dangers darkened,
When, invoked by priest and seer,
To his people's cry he hearkened;
Answered them in all their fear:
He is holy;
As they called, they found him near.
To his people's cry he hearkened;
Answered them in all their fear:
He is holy;
As they called, they found him near.
Laws divine to them were spoken
From the pillar of the cloud ;
Sacred precepts, quickly broken !
Fiercely then his vengeance flowed:
He is holy;
To the dust their hearts were bowed.
From the pillar of the cloud ;
Sacred precepts, quickly broken !
Fiercely then his vengeance flowed:
He is holy;
To the dust their hearts were bowed.
But their Father God forgave them
When they sought his face once more;
Ever ready was to save them.
Tenderly did he restore:
He is holy;
We, too, will his grace implore.

God in Christ is all forgiving,
Waits his mercy to fulfil:
Come, exalt him, all the living;
Come, ascend his Zion still!
He is holy;
Worship at his holy hill.
