Lyrics

Now unto Je­ho­vah, ye sons of the mighty,
All glo­ry and strength and dominion accord;
Ascribe to Him glo­ry, and render Him honor.
In beauty of holiness, worship the Lord.

The voice of Je­ho­vah comes down on the waters;
In thunder the God of the glo­ry draws nigh;
Lo, over the waves of the wide-flowing waters
Jehovah as King is enthronèd on high!

The voice of Je­ho­vah is mighty, is mighty;
The voice of Je­ho­vah in majesty speaks;
The voice of Je­ho­vah the cedars is breaking;
Jehovah the cedars of Lebanon breaks.

Each one in His temple His glo­ry proclaimeth.
He sat on the flood; He is King on His throne.
Jehovah all strength to His people imparteth;
Jehovah with peace ever blesseth His own.
