1 Jesus! Jesus! Jesus, King of glory!
Jesus shall reign o’er earth and sky and sea;
Sound forth His praises, tell abroad the story—
Jesus shall reign in power and majesty.

Refrain:
Jesus shall reign! O glorious proclamation!
Jesus shall reign o’er earth and sky and sea;
All shall behold our Saviour’s exaltation—
Jesus shall reign thro’out eternity.

2 Saviour! Saviour! Saviour, all victorious,
Once on the cross for dying sinners slain,
Now all enthroned in heaven high and glorious,
Soon to return triumphantly and reign. [Refrain]

3 Master! Master! Master, Lord of ages!
Guiding His church upon her perilous way;
Onward, press onward! with a heart courageous,
Jesus shall reign; the world shall own His sway. [Refrain]
