290. Our God Reigns

1 How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him
who brings good news, good news
Announcing peace, proclaiming news of happiness.
Our God reigns, Our God reigns!

Refrain:
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!
Our God reigns! Our God reigns!

2 He had no stately form, He had no majesty,
That we should be drawn to Him.
He was despised and we took no account of Him,
Yet now He reigns with the Most High. (Refrain)

3 Out from the tomb He came with grace and majesty,
He is alive, He is alive.
God loves us so, see here His hands, His feet, His side.
Yes, we know, His is alive. (Refrain)
