Thy God reigneth

Verse 1

Trembling soul, beset by fears, "Thy God reigneth!" Look above and dry thy tears: "Thy God reigneth!" Though thy foes with pow'r assail, naught against thee shall prevail; trust in him - he'll never fail: "Thy God reigneth, thy God reigneth!"

Verse 2

Sinful soul, thy debt is paid; "Thy God reigneth!" On the Lord thy sins were laid; "Thy God reigneth!" On the cross of Calvary, Jesus shed his blood for thee, from all sin to set thee free: "Thy God reigneth, thy God reigneth!"

Verse 3

Seeking soul, to Jesus turn; "Thy God reigneth!" None that seek him will he spurn; "Thy God reigneth!" Wand'ring sheep the Shepherd seeks, and when found he ever keeps, for "he slumbers not nor sleeps": "Thy God reigneth, thy God reigneth!"

Verse 4

Join, ye saints, the truth proclaim, "Thy God reigneth!" Shout it forth with glad acclaim, "Thy God reigneth!" Zion, wake! the morn is nigh, see it break from yonder sky; loud and clear the watchmen cry: "Thy God reigneth, thy God reigneth!"

Verse 5

Church of Christ, awake, awake! "Thy God reigneth!" Forward, then, fresh courage take: "Thy God reigneth!" Soon, descending from his throne, he shall claim thee for his own; sin shall then be overthrown: "Thy God reigneth, thy God reigneth!"
