Zion’s king shall reign vic­to­ri­ous,
All the earth shall own His sway;
He will make His kingdom glo­ri­ous,
He will reign through endless day.
What though none on earth assist Him,
God requires not help from man;
What though all the world resist Him,
God will realize His plan.

Nations now from God estrangèd,
Then shall see a glo­ri­ous light,
Night to day shall then be changèd,
Heaven shall triumph in the sight;
See the ancient idols falling!
Worshipped once, but now abhorred;
Men on Zion’s king are calling,
Zion’s king by all adored.

Then shall Israel, long dispersèd,
Mourning seek the Lord their God,
Look on Him whom once they piercèd,
Own and kiss the chastening rod;
Then all Israel shall be savèd,
War and tumult then shall cease,
While the greater Son of David
Rules a conquered world in peace.
