The New Christian Hymnal ‎#171

171. Shout, for the Blessed Jesus Reigns

1. Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns,
Thro' distant lands His triumphs spread,
And sinners, freed from endless pain,
Own Him their Savior and their Head.

2. He calls his chosen from afar,
They all at Zion's gates arrive;
Those who were dead in sin before,
By sov'reign grace are made alive.

3. Gentiles and Jews, His laws obey,
Nations remote their off'rings bring,
And unconstrained their homage pay
To their exalted God and King.

4. O may His holy Church increase,
His Word and Spirit still prevail,
While angels celebrate His praise,
And saints His growing glories hail.

5. Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb,
From all below, and all above;
In lofty songs exalt His name,--
In songs as lasting as His love.
