502. Christ Shall Have Dominion

1 Christ shall have dominion
Over land and sea;
Earth's remotest regions
Shall His empire be;
They that wilds inhabit
Shall their worship bring,
Kings shall render tribute,
Nations serve our King.
Christ shall have dominion
Over land and sea,
Earth's remotest regions
Shall His empire be.

2 When the needy seek Him
He will mercy show;
Yea, the weak and helpless
Shall His pity know;
He will surely save them
From oppression's might,
For their lives are precious
In His holy sight.
Christ shall have dominion
Over land and sea,
Earth's remotest regions
Shall His empire be.

3 Ever and forever
Shall His name endure,
Long as suns continue
It shall stand secure;
And in Him forever
All men shall be blest,
And all nations hail Him
King of Kings confessed.
Christ shall have dominion
Over land and sea,
Earth's remotest regions
Shall His empire be.

4 Unto God Almighty
Joyful Zion sings;
He alone is glorious,
Doing wondrous things.
Evermore, ye people,
Bless His glorious name;
His eternal glory
Through the earth proclaim.
Christ shall have dominion
Over land and sea,
Earth's remotest regions
Shall His empire be.

Amen.
