Lyics

KING Jesus, reign for evermore,

Unrival'd in Thy courts above,

While we, with all Thy saints, adore

The wonders of redeeming love.



No other Lord but Thee we'll know,

No other pow'r but Thine confess;

We'll spread Thine honors while below,

And heav'n shall hear us shout Thy grace.



We'll sing along the heav'nly road

That leads us to Thy blest abode;

Till, with the vast unnumber'd throng,

We join in heav'n'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.
