List, I hear the angels singÂing,
Yonder round the starÂry throne,
In the reÂgions of imÂmorÂtals,
Christ awaits to claim His own.
Refrain
Christ is reignÂing, Christ is reignÂing,
Hear the muÂsic round the throne;
He is comÂing, He is comÂing,
He will come to claim His own.
Yonder in the choirs of HeavÂen,
Glory, gloÂry swells the strain,
Over death He is triÂumÂphant,
Christ the Lord is ris’n again.
Refrain
We shall see Him and be like Him,
O what rapÂture in the thought,
When we wear the crown of gloÂry
We shall praise Him as we ought.
Refrain
He is risÂen, our ReÂdeemÂer,
Mighty still His own to save,
He has given us the vicÂtoÂry,
Victory evÂen o’er the grave.
