No. 2379, The Reign of the King (Poetry)

A poem on Psalm 47.

---

Clap hands, all Nations, lift your cheer, —
the Lord Most High is reigning near!
With power He Rules; His Throne is sure, —
the Earth beneath His Will secure.

He chose our Heritage and place, —
a crown of Love, a gift of Grace.
The pride of Jacob stands complete
beneath the Lord’s triumphant Seat.

God rises high with trumpet sound;
His praises echo all around.
Sing loud, sing well His Glory claim, —
sing Psalms until His holy Name.

For God is King of all the lands;
the Earth obeys His Wise Commands.
The nations bow, their princes call;
for He is Sovereign over all.

The shields of Earth are His to bear;
He reigns Supreme beyond compare.
Exalted high, His Throne ascends;
the Reign of God will never end.
