William Bradshaw, 1820

1.The Lord doth reign, and clothed is he
with majesty most bright;
His works do show him clothed to be,
and girt about with might.

2.The world is also stablished,
that it cannot depart.
Thy throne is fixed of old, and thou
from everlasting art.

3.The floods, O Lord, have lifted up,
they lifted up their voice;
The floods have lifted up their waves,
and made a mighty noise.

4.But yet the Lord, that is on high,
is more of might by far
Than noise of many waters is,
or great sea-billows are.

5.Thy testimonies every one
in faithfulness excel;
And holiness for ever, Lord,
thine house becometh well.
