LyicsSHOUT, for the blessed Jesus reigns,
Through distant lands his triumphs spread,
And sinners, freed from endless pains,
Own him their Saviour and their head
He calls his chosen from afar,
They all at Zion's gate arrive;
Those who were dead in sin before,
By reigning grace are made alive.
Gentiles and Jews his laws obey,
Nations remote their off'rings bring,
And unconstrain'd their homage pay
To their exalted God and King.
O, may his holy church increase,
His word and spirit still prevail;
While angels celebrate his praise,
And saints his growing glories hail!
Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb,
From all below and all above;
In lofty songs exalt his name,
In songs as lasting as his love.
