LyicsHear the royal proclamation,
The glad tidings of salvation,
Publishing to ev'ry creature,
To the ruin'd sons of nature,
Chorus
Jesus reign - he reigns victorious,
Over heaven and earth most glorious!
Jesus reigns
See the royal banners flying,
Hear the heralds loudly crying,
"Rebel sinners, royal favor
Now is offer'd by the Saviour."
Hear, O sons of wrath and ruin,
Who have wrought your own undoing,
Here are life and free salvation
Offer'd to the whole creation.
Here is wine, and mild, and honey;
Come and purchase without money,
Mercy, like a flowing fountain,
Streaming from the holy mountain.
For this love let rocks and mountains,
Silver streams and crystal fountains,
Roaring thunders, lightning's blazes,
Shout the great Messiah's praises.
Shout, you tongues of every nation,
To the bounds of the creation,
Shout the praise of Judah's Lion,
The Almighty King of Zion.
Shout, O saints! Make joyful mention,
Christ has purchased our redemption;
Angels, shout the joyful story
Through the brighter worlds of glory.
