VE to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and power; Ascribe due honours to his name, And his eternal might adore. 2 The Lord proclaims his power aloud, ་ The mountains tremble at the noise, The vallies roar, the deserts quake. 5 The Lord sits sovereign o'er the flood; The Thunderer reigns forever King: But makes his church his blest abode, Where we his awful glories sing. 6 In gentler language there the Lord The counsels of his grace imparts; Amidst the raging storm, his word Speaks peace and courage to our hearts.
