The LORD God omnipotent Reigns on high!
"Way back in old eternity,
In council of the Trinity;To save a people God agreed,
His saving purpose was decreed.
O praise the Lord His Name adore,
Give Him the glory evermore;
By matchless, free and sovereign grace,
Our God has saved a chosen race.
Into this world Christ Jesus came,
To save His people, praise His Name;
He was the Father’s Sacrifice,
Who fully paid our ransom price.
O what a wondrous mystery,
That Christ would bare iniquity;
The Holy One who is our Head,
Was punished in His people’s stead.
Christ Jesus died but now He lives,
And life to us He freely gives;
We trust the Lord our Righteousness,
Who cleansed us from our sinfulness.
Soon Christ shall come to claim His own,
And then before His great, white throne;
All of the ransomed, holy throng,
Shall join and sing redemption’s song."
Tune: “Sweet Hour of Prayer,” (LM/Double)
