Shout, For The Blessed Jesus Reigns

Verse 1

Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns; through distant lands his triumphs spread; and sinners, freed from endless pains, own him their Savior and their Head.

Verse 2

He calls his chosen from afar; they all at Zion's gates arrive; those who were dead in sin before by sov'reign grace are made alive.

Verse 3

Gentiles and Jews his laws obey; nations remote their off'rings bring, and unconstrained their homage pay to their exalted God and King.

Verse 4

O may his holy church increase, his Word and Spirit still prevail, while angels celebrate his praise, and saints his growing glories hail.

Verse 5

Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb, from all below and all above! In lofty songs exalt his name, in songs as lasting as his love.
