109. If Jesus Reigned Alone

1 How sweet a place would be the world
If Jesus reigned alone;
The flags of war would all be furled
If Jesus reigned alone.

Refrain:
And yet that blessed time will come,
For millions loudly call:
“Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!”

2 All hearts from hatred would be free
If Jesus reigned alone;
Mankind one fam’ly blest would be
If Jesus reigned alone. [Refrain]

3 Despair and want could not be found
If Jesus reigned alone;
For joy and plenty would abound
If Jesus reigned alone. [Refrain]

4 How sweet a place will earth be then,
When Jesus reigns alone;
Oh, Eden will be man’s again,
When Jesus reigns alone. [Refrain]
