The Lord, Jehovah, Still Maintains — Don Fortner

(Tune: #46 — O for a Thousand Tongues — CM)

1. The Lord, Jehovah, still maintains His holy, sov’reign throne;

In heaven, earth, and hell He reigns, and makes His wonders known.

2. Sov’reign, eternal, His decrees firm as the mountains stand;

Our God performs whate’er He please, and none can stay His hand.

3. All things our God rules and controls His purpose to fulfill,

Even the destiny of souls, according to His will.

4. Jacob by grace most free He saved, and gives no reason why;

But Esau’s heart he left depraved. — Who can His will defy?

5. What if the sov’reign Potter takes part of a lump of clay,

And for Himself a vessel makes, and casts the rest away?

6. Who can resist the Potter’s will, or say, “What doest Thou?”

Jehovah is Jehovah still, and to Him all shall bow!

7. My soul, rejoice, believe, adore the Lord in all His ways.

His sov’reign throne I’ll bow before and trust Him for His grace.
