Lyics

KING Jesus, reign for evermore,

Unrivaled in thy courts above,

While we, with all thy saint, adore

The wonders of redeeming love.



No other Lord but thee we'll know,

No other power but thine confess;

We'll spread thine honors while below,

And heaven shall hear us shout thy grace.



We'll sing along the heavenly road

That leads us to thy blest abode;

Till, with the vast, unnumbered throng,

We join in heaven's triumphant song:



Till, with pure hands and voices sweet,

We cast our crowns at Jesus' feet,

And sing of everlasting love,

In everlasting strains above.
