LyicsShout, for the blessed Jesus reigns,
Though distant lands his triumphs spread,
And sinners, freed from endless pains,
Own him their Saivour and their head.
He calls his chosen from afar,
They all at Zion's gate arrive,
Those who were dead in sin before,
By sovereign grace are made alive.
Gentiles and Jews his laws obey,
Nations remote their offering bring,
And, unconstrained, 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.
