Psalm XCIIISir Philip Sidney (15541586)
C
Monarch-like Jehovah reigns,
He who earth’s foundation pight—
Pight at first, and yet sustains;
He whose stable throne disdains
Motion’s shock and age’s flight;
He who endless one remains
One, the same, in changeless plight.
Roaring though sea-billows rise,
Vex the deep, and break the shore,—
Stronger art thou, Lord of skies!
Firm and true thy promise lies
Now and still as heretofore:
Holy worship never dies
In thy house where we adore.
