There is no reason for disquiet as long as this blessed truth stands: The Lord's power controls the rage of the wicked as easily as the sea. His love refreshes the poor with mercy, like showers on the earth. His majesty appears even amidst storms, and His glory is evident in the rise and fall of empires. In every conflict and tribulation, we see the hand of our divine King.

"God is God; He sees and hears all our troubles and tears. Soul, don't forget, even in pain, God over all forever reigns." Even in hell, the evil spirits acknowledge His supreme authority. When they're allowed to roam, they do so with chains. God controls all: He holds back death's darts and oversees the grave.

The judge of all the earth makes the wicked tremble, just as dogs fear the hunter's whip. "Fear not death, nor Satan's attacks. God defends those who trust in Him. Soul, remember, in your pain, God over all forever reigns." In heaven, no one questions God's sovereignty; all give Him honor. Angels serve as His courtiers, the saved as His favored ones, all eager to serve Him day and night.

May we soon arrive in the city of the great King! "For this life's night of sorrow, He'll give us peace and joy. Soul, remember, in your pain, God over all forever reigns."
