LyicsHear the royal proclamation,
The glad tidings of salvation,
Publishing to every creature,
To the ruined sons of nature;
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns victorious,
Over heaven and earth most glorious,
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
See the royal banners flying,
Hear the heralds loudly crying,
"Rebel sinners, royal favor
Now is offered by the Savior."
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns victorious,
Over heaven and earth most glorious,
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
"Here is wine, and milk, and honey,
Come and purchase without money;
Mercy like a flowing fountain,
Streaming from the holy mountain."
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns victorious,
Over heaven and earth most glorious,
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
Shout, you tongues of every nation,
To the bound of the creation:
Shout the praise of Judah's Lion,
The Almighty King of Zion.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns victorious,
Over heaven and earth most glorious,
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
Shout, O saints, make joyful mention,
Christ hath purchased our redemption;
Angels, shout the joyful story,
Through the brighter worlds of glory.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns victorious,
Over heaven and earth most glorious,
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns.
