Trinity Hymnal ‎#678

678. 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.

Refrain:
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. [Refrain]

3 Ever and for ever
Shall his Name endure,
Long as suns continue
It shall stand secure;
And in him for ever
All men shall be blest,
And all nations hail him
King of kings confessed. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

Amen.
