Dominus regnavit.
WHAT if nations rage and frett? | |
| What if earth doe ruine threate? | |
| Loe, our state Jehova guideth, | |
| He that on the cherubs rideth. | |
| |
| Greate Jehova Sion holdes, | 5 |
| High above what earth enfolds: | |
| Thence his sacred name with terror | |
| Forceth truth from tongues of error. | |
| |
| Thron’d he sitts a king of might, | |
| Mighty soe, as bent to right; | 10 |
| For how can but be maintained | |
| Right by him who right ordained? | |
| |
| O then come, Jehova sing: | |
| Sing our God, our Lord, our King; | |
| At the footstoole sett before him | 15 |
| —He is holy—come, adore him. | |
| |
| Moses erst and Aron soe— | |
| These did high in priesthood goe— | |
| Samuell soe unto him crying, | |
| Got their sutes without denying. | 20 |
| |
| But from cloudy piller then | |
| God did daigne to talk with men: | |
| He enacting, they observing, | |
| From his will there was no swerving. | |
| |
| Then our God, Jehova, thou | 25 |
| Unto them thy eare didst bowe: | |
| Gratious still, and kindly harted, | |
| Though for sinne they somewhile smarted. | |
| |
| O then come, Jehova sing: | |
| Sing our God, our Lord, our King; | 30 |
| In his Sion mount before him | |
| —He is holy—come, adore him. | |
