God the Lord is King: before him Earth with all thy nations, wait! Where the cherubim adore him, Sitteth he in royal state: He is holy; He is holy; Blessed, only Potentate! God the Lord is King of glory, Zion, tell the world his fame; Ancient Israel, the story Of his faithfulness proclaim: He is holy; He is holy; Holy is his awful name. Laws divine to them were spoken From the pillar of the cloud; Sacred precepts, quickly broken! Fiercely then his vengeance flowed: He is holy; He is holy; To the dust their hearts were bowed. But their Father God forgave them When they sought his face once more: Ever ready was to save them, Tenderly did he restore: He is holy; He is holy; We too will his grace implore.
