Hymn 43
L.M.
1. Jehovah reigns—your tribute bring;
Proclaim the Lord, th'eternal King:
Crown him, ye saints, with holy joy,
His arm shall all your foes destroy.

2. Thou, Lord, ere yet the humble mind
Had formed to prayer the wish designed,
Hast heard the secret sigh arise,
While, swift to aid, thy mercies flies.

3. Thy Spirit shall our heart prepare;
Thine ear shall listen to our prayer:
Thou, righteous Judge! thou Power divine!
On thee the fatherless recline.

4. The Lord shall save th' afflicted breast,
His arm shall vindicate th' oppressed;
Earth's mightiest tyrant feel his power,
Nor sin, nor Satan grieve them more.
