| | Dominus regnavit.
CLOTH’D with state, and girt with might, | |
| Monarck-like Jehova raignes: | |
| He who earthe’s foundation pight, | |
| Pight at first, and yet sustaines: | |
| He whose stable throne disdaines | 5 |
| Motion’s shock, and ages’ flight: | |
| He who endless one remaines, | |
| One the same in changelesse plight. | |
| |
| Rivers, yea, though rivers rore, | |
| Roring though sea-billows rise; | 10 |
| Vex the deepe, and breake the shore, | |
| Stronger art thou, Lord of skies. | |
| Firme and true thy promise lies | |
| Now and still as heretofore: | |
| Holy worshipp never dies | 15 |
| In thy howse where we adore. | | | | |
