Lyrics

List, I hear the angels sing­ing,
Yonder round the star­ry throne,
In the re­gions of im­mor­tals,
Christ awaits to claim His own.

Refrain

Christ is reign­ing, Christ is reign­ing,
Hear the mu­sic round the throne;
He is com­ing, He is com­ing,
He will come to claim His own.

Yonder in the choirs of Heav­en,
Glory, glo­ry swells the strain,
Over death He is tri­um­phant,
Christ the Lord is ris’n again.

Refrain

We shall see Him and be like Him,
O what rap­ture in the thought,
When we wear the crown of glo­ry
We shall praise Him as we ought.

Refrain

He is ris­en, our Re­deem­er,
Mighty still His own to save,
He has given us the vic­to­ry,
Victory ev­en o’er the grave.
