97 Let all the world rejoice...
Words: John Hunt Music: William Henry Havergal
1 Let all the world rejoice!
The great Jehovah reigns.
The thunders are His voice;
Our life His will ordains,
The glories of His holy name
The lightnings, floods and hail proclaim.
2 He rules the sea and land,
O'er boundless realms He sways,
Holds oceans in His hand,
And mighty mountains weighs.
Unequalled He reigns alone;
In majesty He fills His throne.
3 The universe He made
By His prevailing might;
The earth's foundations laid,
And scattered ancient night;
His spirit moved; earth and sea
Proclaimed His sovereign majesty.
