Verse 1
God is Love; His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
Verse 2
Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
Verse 3
E’en the hour that darkest seemeth
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the mist His brightness streameth:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
Verse 4
He with earthly cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.

Josiah Conder·Modern
Verse 1
The Lord is King! lift up thy voice,
O earth; and all ye heavens, rejoice:
From world to world the joy shall ring:
“The Lord Omnipotent is King!”
Verse 2
The Lord is King! who then shall dare
Resist His will, distrust His care,
Or murmur at His wise decrees,
Or doubt His royal promises?
Verse 3
The Lord is King! Child of the dust,
The Judge of all the earth is just;
Holy and true are all His ways:
Let every creature speak His praise.
Verse 4
O when His wisdom can mistake,
His might decay, His love forsake,
Then may His children cease to sing,
“The Lord Omnipotent is King!”
Verse 5
Alike pervaded by His eye,
All parts of His dominion lie;
This world of ours, and worlds unseen,
And thin the boundary between.
Verse 6
One Lord, one empire, all secures;
He reigns, and life and death are yours:
Through earth and heaven one song shall ring,
“The Lord Omnipotent is King!”
