The Lord is king! lift up your voice,
O earth, and all you heavens, rejoice;
from world to world the song shall ring:
‘The Lord omnipotent is King!’
2. The Lord is King! Who then shall dare
resist his will, distrust his care
or quarrel with his wise decrees,
or doubt his royal promises?
3. The Lord is King! Child of the dust,
the Judge of all the earth is just;
holy and true are all his ways-
let every creature speak his praise!
4. He reigns! You saints, his praises sing:
your Father reigns, your God is King;
and Christ is seated at his side,
the Man of love, the Crucified.
5. One Lord, one kingdom, all secures:
he reigns, and life and death are yours;
through earth and heaven one song shall ring:
‘The Lord omnipotent is King!’
