The Lord Doth Reign

Words: Psalm 93 Scottish Psalter, 1650

Tune: Ottawa C.M.D. Stephen Pribble, 2002

   1. The Lord doth reign, and clothed is he
         with majesty most bright;
      His works do show him clothed to be,
         and girt about with might.
      The world is also stablishèd,
         that it cannot depart.
      Thy throne is fixed of old, and thou
         from everlasting art.

   2. The floods, O Lord, have lifted up,
         they lifted up their voice;
      The floods have lifted up their waves,
         and made a mighty noise.
      But yet the Lord, that is on high,
         is more of might by far
      Than noise of many waters is,
         or great sea-billows are.

   3. Thy testimonies ev'ry one
         in faithfulness excel;
      And holiness for ever, Lord,
         thine house becometh well.
      The Lord doth reign, and clothed is he
         with majesty most bright;
      His works do show him clothed to be,
         and girt about with might.
