Jehovah reigns
You, sovereign Lord, let all confess who move in earth, or air, or sky. Let them revere your power, bless your goodness, and tremble before your piercing eye. All you who owe to him your birth, employ your every hour in praise. Jehovah reigns (Psalm 97:1). Be glad, O earth, and shout, you morning stars, for joy.
