Almighty Sovereign

Almighty Sovereign of the skies,
The holy God, the only wise,
Who would not fear thy name?
Thou doest thy will throughout our land,
None can avert thy mighty hand;
We feel our guilt and shame.

Thy holy name let us revere,
And feel thy presence ever near;
Lord, pardon all our sins:
’Tis that alone that will condemn
Forever all the sons of men,
If pardon we don’t win.

O, that I could but serve the Lord
According to his blessed word;
From doubts I should be free,
And peace of mind I should enjoy,
The Savior’s praise be my employ,
And happy I would be.

Lord make us wise from day to day,
To love and serve thee, watch and pray,
If ’tis thy blessed will;
Without thine and we nought can do;
Thy Word says so, and it is true;
And thou can’st save from ill.

Let all the people of the earth,
Whether of high or humble birth,
Revere thy holy name,
And peace and love, the greatest good,
Be more practiced and understood;
Then we’ll be free from shame.
