1 With glory, clad, with strength arrayed,

the Lord, that o'er all nature reigns,

The world's foundations strongly laid,

and the vast fabric still sustains.

2 How surely 'stablished is thy throne,

which shall no change or period see!

For thou, O Lord, and thou alone,

art God from all eternity.

3,4 The floods, O Lord, lift up their voice,

and toss the troubled waves on high;

But God above can still their noise,

and make the angry sea comply.

5 Thy promise, Lord, is ever sure,

and they that in thy house would dwell,

That happy station to secure,

must still in holiness excel.
