LyicsSHOUT, for the blessed Jesus reigns,
Thro' 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 sov'reign 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.
