16944. Christ Is King

1 Christ is King o’er hill and val­ley,
And upon the roll­ing sea;
Hear the mig­hty shouts
Of tri­umph and of joy!
Sinful forc­es are re­ced­ing,
Right is gain­ing vic­to­ry;
Peace and glad­ness reign
That no­thing can de­stroy!

Refrain:
Christ is King, eter­nal King,
Christ is King, eter­nal King;
Ransomed ones are voic­ing now
The glad re­frain;
Christ is King, eter­nal King,
Christ is King, eter­nal King;
And in pow­er and glo­ry
Ev­er shall He reign!

2 Christ is King, all na­ture ech­oes
In a joy­ous, thank­ful song,
Mountains, riv­ers, birds and
Flowers Him ad­ore;
From His hand all good is giv­en,
Justice, power to Him be­long,
And His praise is ring­ing e’er
From shore to shore! [Refrain]

3 Christ is King, all na­tions own Him
As they bow be­fore the throne,
Praising Him for un­told bless­ings,
Grace and love;
Mercy, good­ness, hon­or, glo­ry
They as­cribe to Him alone,
As their fer­vent songs and pray­ers
Rise ab­ove! [Refrain]

4 Christ is King, eter­nal, migh­ty,
Blest Re­deem­er of the world;
Angels kneel in ado­ra­tion
At His feet;
Till each soul con­fess al­le­giance,
Shall His ban­ner be un­furled,
And the saved in end­less bliss
Their Lord shall meet! [Refrain]
