v.1-5 <br />L. M. <br />Christ reigning in heaven, and coming to judgment. <br /> <br />He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns; <br />Praise him in evangelic strains <br />Let the whole earth in songs rejoice, <br />And distant islands join their voice. <br /> <br />Deep are his counsels, and unknown, <br />But grace and truth support his throne; <br />Though gloomy clouds his ways surround, <br />Justice is their eternal ground. <br /> <br />In robes of judgment, lo! he comes, <br />Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs; <br />Before him burns devouring fire; <br />The mountains melt, the seas retire. <br /> <br />His enemies, with sore dismay, <br />Fly from the sight, and shun the day; <br />Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high, <br />And sing, for your redemption's nigh.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-97-part-1/
