The Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth

The Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth

Here is another great hymn of praise from Our Own Hymn-Book – A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Public, Social and Private Worship. It was compiled by the great preacher, Charles Haddon Spurgeon and used at his church, The Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England:

The Lord is King; lift up thy voice,
   O earth, and all ye heaven rejoice;
From world to world the joy shall ring,
   The Lord Omnipotent is King.

The Lord is King: who then shall dare
   Resist His will, distrust His care,
Or murmur at His wise decrees,
   Or doubt His royal promises?

The Lord is King: child of the dust,
   The Judge of all the earth is just;
Holy and true are all His ways,
   Let every creature speak His praise.

He reigns! Ye saints, exalt your strains:
   Your God is King, Your Father reigns;
And He is at the Father’s side,
   The Man of love, the Crucified!

Come, make you wants, your burdens known;
   He will present them at the throne;
And angel-bands are waiting there,
   His messages of love to bear.

Oh! When His wisdom can mistake,
   His might decay, His love forsake,
Then may His children cease to sing,
The Lord Omnipotent is King! – Josiah Conder 1824

Aren’t you thankful this morning that the The Lord Omnipotent is King? Take some time to reflect on this truth as you worship Him today – your AUDIENCE OF ONE! – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick
