Lyrics

The Lord omnipotent shall reign
Where’er the sun doth shine;
His right to rule earth’s kings shall own,
And bless His sway divine.

Refrain

Then magnify His matchless name,
Let anthems ring from shore to shore;
On sea and land, in loud acclaim,
Exalt Him ev­er­more.

The Lord commands, and it stands fast,
He speaks, and it is done;
Forevermore His reign shall last,
Enduring is His throne.

Refrain

He calls us now to do and dare,
The world for Christ to gain,
That in His kingdom we may share,
As kings and priests to reign.
