God Omnipotent Reigneth by Charles Wood — Lyrics
God omnipotent reigneth, Clad in apparel bright;
Sov'ran King He remaineth, Girded about with might;
By him the world alone Immutably was grounded;
In heav'n hath He His throne, From everlasting founded.

About God Omnipotent Reigneth
Charles Wood's anthem God Omnipotent Reigneth sets a jubilant English text for SATB choir. The words express the absolute power and eternal sovereignty of God, highlighting His creation and governance of the world, the oceans, and the very elements. The music reflects the grandeur and majesty of the divine, with the choir articulating themes of immutability and holiness. This sacred anthem is a powerful declaration of faith, suitable for services where the might and enduring presence of the Almighty are to be proclaimed. The text, drawn from the tradition of devotional poetry, offers a strong theological statement within a musical setting designed to inspire awe and reverence.
