Zion's King shall reign victorious

Verse 1

Zion’s king shall reign victorious, All the earth shall own His sway; He will make His kingdom glorious, He will reign through endless day. What though none on earth assist Him, God requires not help from man; What though all the world resist Him, God will realize His plan.

Verse 2

Nations now from God estrangèd, Then shall see a glorious light, Night to day shall then be changèd, Heaven shall triumph in the sight; See the ancient idols falling! Worshipped once, but now abhorred; Men on Zion’s king are calling, Zion’s king by all adored.

Verse 3

Then shall Israel, long dispersèd, Mourning seek the Lord their God, Look on Him whom once they piercèd, Own and kiss the chastening rod; Then all Israel shall be savèd, War and tumult then shall cease, While the greater Son of David Rules a conquered world in peace.
