Jesus shall reign

1 All hail to the Prince! His king­dom is spread­ing;
O’er em­pires of sin we now her­ald His sway;
His glor­ified cross in its beau­ty is shed­ding
The sa­vor of truth and the bright­ness of day.

Refrain:
Hosanna! Ho­san­na! again and again;
Hosanna! Ho­san­na! for Jes­us shall reign.

2 All hail to the Prince! whose star-beam of glo­ry
Drew forth to His wor­ship the wise men of old;
They poured forth their of­fer­ings—
O won­der­ful sto­ry—
Of myrrh and sweet in­cense, with trea­sures of gold. [Refrain]

3 All hail to the Prince! hear child­ren re­cit­ing
Most wel­come re­sponse to the child­ren of old;
The an­gels are drawn by their songs so in­vit­ing,
And list­en to hear His great name so ex­tolled. [Refrain]

4 Reign, reign, migh­ty Prince! Thy king­dom so glo­ri­ous
Shall com­pass all king­doms by land and by sea.
Earth’s mill­ions shall laud Thee—
Thy scep­ter vic­tor­ious—
And swell the loud an­thems of tri­umph to Thee. [Refrain]
