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.
