Ascribe, ye mighty, to Jehovah might And glory, victor o’er his enemies— Give to Jehovah glory in the height, The glory due unto His name! Adore Him in the beauty of Holiness aright! Thy voice, Jehovah! on the waters hoar Careers; the God of glory thundereth; Jehovah speaks where many waters roar— Thy voice, Jehovah! is more strong than death— Thy powerful voice is full of majesty; Thy voice o’erthrows the cedar with its breath. And Lebanon and Sirion before Thee Skip like a calf, and like a unicorn, In youth transcilient, and by nature free,— Thy voice Jehovah! shakes the desert lorn; Jehovah shakes the wilderness; His voice Maketh the hinds to calve, the forest-born. Within His temple shall His sons rejoice, And all declare His glory. On the sea He sitteth—hushed is its tempestuous noise— Behold Jehovah sitteth royally Upon the calmed flood, eternal Lord: And strength unto His people giveth He, And them with peace and blessing hath restored.
