The Universal Victory of the Cross

Representative Text

1 Jesus, the Conqueror, reigns,
In glorious strength arrayed;
His kingdom over all maintains,
And bids the earth be glad.

2 Ye sons of men, rejoice
In Jesus’ mighty love;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
To Him who rules above.

3 Extol His kingly power;
Kiss the exalted Son,
Who died, and lives to die no more,
High on His Father’s throne:

4 Our Advocate with God,
He undertakes our cause,
And spreads through all the earth abroad
The victory of His cross.

AMEN.
