He Shall Reign from Sea to Sea

Verse 1

O Church of Christ, behold at last The promised sign appear,— The Gospel preached in all the world; And lo! The King draws near.

Chorus

He shall reign from sea to sea; When He girds on His conqu’ring sword; All the ends of the earth shall see The salvation of our God.

Verse 2

With girded loins, make haste! make haste, Thy witness to complete. That Christ may take His throne and bring All nations to His feet.

Verse 3

And Thou, O Israel, long in dust, Arise, and come away! See how the Sun of Righteousness Sheds forth the beams of day.

Verse 4

The scattered sons are gath’ring home, The fig-tree buds again; A little while, and David’s Son On David’s throne shall reign.

Verse 5

Then sing aloud, O Pilgrim Church, Brief conflict yet remains, And then Immanuel descends To bind thy foe in chains.
