He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns;

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 179 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns; Sing to His name in lofty strains, Let all the saints in songs rejoice, And in His praise exalt their voice.

Verse 2

Deep are his counsels, and unknown, But grace and truth support His throne; Though gloomy clouds His ways surround, Justice is their eternal ground.

Verse 3

In robes of judgment, lo, he comes! Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs; Before him burns devouring fire; The mountains melt, the seas retire.

Verse 4

His enemies, with wild dismay, Fly from the sight, and shun the day; Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high, And sing, for your redemption's nigh.
