Mrs. J. I. McClelland • English

Verse 1

On the throne of His Father above, He is seated today, One I love; What a mystery there of His grace, For He reigns in my heart’s dwelling place.

Chorus

He is reigning in my heart, He is reigning in my heart; On my journey as I go, ‘Tis a glorious thing to know He is reigning in my heart.

Verse 2

As I yield Him the sceptre each day, O’er my life Jesus takes loving sway; Cares and trials and burdens all prove His eternal compassionate love.

Chorus

He is reigning in my heart, He is reigning in my heart; On my journey as I go, ‘Tis a glorious thing to know He is reigning in my heart.

Verse 3

When temptations come in like a flood, There is shelter for me, thro’ His blood; For the Spirit of God has control, Since my Saviour is King of my soul.

He is reigning in my heart, He is reigning in my heart; On my journey as I go, ‘Tis a glorious thing to know He is reigning in my heart.

Verse 4

O so tender a Ruler is He, Loving sinners like you and like me; Weak and helpless, I rest in His power, For He reigns in my life ev’ry hour.

Chorus

He is reigning in my heart, He is reigning in my heart; On my journey as I go, ‘Tis a glorious thing to know He is reigning in my heart.
