628. Jesus Christ As King Is Reigning

1 Jesus Christ as King is reigning,
God His mighty rule ordaining:
All things at His feet shall lie.
Let each tongue as Lord confess Him
And in homage praise and bless Him;
For His throne is built on high.

2 With the Father honors sharing,
Cherubim His fame declaring,
He is seated on His throne,
Ruling over earth and heaven;
For to Him are all things given
By the Father as His own.

3 Christians here on earth, adore Him;
Saints in heaven, come before Him,
Shout, ye hosts that carry palms;
Ye who glist'ning crowns are wearing,
Ye who harps of gold are bearing,
Praise ye Him with tuneful psalms.

4 And I, too, a sinner lowly,
Will exalt the Lord most holy,
Saying, as I prostrate lie:
Jesus Christ as King is reigning,
God His mighty rule ordaining:
Glory to the Lord on high.
