PSALM XCIII.
WITH power the Lord returns to reign,
In glory clad, with strength arrayed:
A King He comes to earth again,
To reign o'er all that He hath made.

Oh, God! Thou form'dst this world to last,
Unmoved by time in every part;
Thy throne was fixed in ages past,
And Thou from everlasting art.

The floods have raised their voice, O Lord,
And dashed their foaming waves on high:
But Thou art mightier far; Thy word
Can calm the deep and still the sea.

Yea, far above all mortal power,
Thy throne is in eternity!
Thy promise stands for ever sure,
And holiness belongs to Thee.

E.
