Joy to the World ‎#57

57. Jesus Reigns

1 Hear the royal proclamation,
The glad tidings of salvation,
Publishing to every creature,
To the ruined sons of nature,
Jesus reigns!

Chorus:
Lo! he reigns, he reigns victorious
Over heaven and earth most glorious.
Jesus reigns!

2 See the royal banner flying,
Hear the heralds loudly crying,
"Rebel sinners, royal favor
Now is offered by the Savior."
Jesus reigns! [Chorus]

3 Here are life and free salvation,
Offered to the whole creation;
Here are wine, and milk and honey,
Come and purchase without money.
Jesus reigns! [Chorus]

4 Shout, ye saints, make joyful mention,
Christ has purchased our redemption,
Angels shout the pleasing story,
Thro' the brighter worlds of glory,
Jesus reigns! [Chorus]
