10135. He Shall Reign From Sea To Sea

1 O Church of Christ! behold at last
The promised sign appear—
The Gospel preached in all the world;
And lo! the King draws near.

Refrain:
He shall reign from sea to sea,
When He girds on His conquering sword;
All the ends of the earth shall see
The salvation of our God.

2 With girded loins, make haste, make haste,
Thy witness to complete;
That Christ may take His throne and bring
All nations to His feet. [Refrain]

3 And thou, O Israel, long in dust,
Arise! and come away;
See how the Sun of Righteousness
Sheds forth the beams of day. [Refrain]

4 The scattered sons are gathering home,
The fig tree buds again;
A little while, and David’s Son
On David’s throne shall reign. [Refrain]

5 Then sing aloud, O pilgrim Church,
Brief conflict yet remains;
And then Immanuel descends
To bind thy foe in chains. [Refrain]
