"Tell mankind Jehovah reigns; He shall bind the world in chains, So as it shall never slide, And with sacred justice guide. Let the smiling heavens rejoice, Joyful earth exalt her voice; Let the dancing billows roar, Echoes answer from the shore, Fields their flowery mantles shake; All shall in their joy partake; While the wood-musicians sing To the ever-youthful spring. Fill His courts with sacred mirth; Lo! He comes to judge the earth: Justly He the world shall sway, And His truth to men display."
