Author: Rev. Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #392 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns;
Through distant lands His triumphs spread;
And sinners, freed from endless pains,
Own Him their Savior and their Head.
2 He calls His chosen from afar,
They all at Zion’s gates arrive;
Those who were dead in sin before
By sovereign grace are made alive.
3 Gentiles and Jews His laws obey;
Nations remote their offerings bring,
And unconstrained their homage pay
To their exalted God and king.
4 O may His holy Church increase,
His Word and Spirit still prevail,
While angels celebrate His praise,
And saints His growing glories hail.
5 Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb,
From all below, and all above!
In lofty songs exalt His Name,
In songs as lasting as His love.
