Psalm 99
Words: Isaac Watts
PART 1.
Christ's kingdom and majesty.
1 The God Jehovah reigns !
Let all the nations fear;
Let sinners tremble at his throne,
And saints be humble there.
2 Jesus the Savior reigns !
Let earth adore its Lord;
Bright cherubs his attendants stand,
Swift to fulfill his word.
3 In Zion is his throne,
His honors are Divine;
His church shall make his wonders known,
For there his glories shine.
4 How holy is his name!
How terrible his praise!
Justice, and truth, and judgment join
In all his works of grace.
PART 2.
A holy God worshipped with reverence.
1 Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at his feet;
His nature is all holiness,
And mercy is his seat.
2 When Isr'el was his church,
When Aaron was his priest,
When Moses cried, when Samuel prayed,
He gave his people rest.
3 Oft he forgave their sins,
Nor would destroy their race;
And oft he made his vengeance known,
When they abused his grace.
4 Exalt the Lord our God,
Whose grace is still the same;
Still he's a God of holiness,
And jealous for his name.
