Rejoice, for Jesus reigns,

Enthroned in human hearts;

He breaks the prison chains

And makes them free indeed;

The devil might God’s child oppose,

No fear of foe, God’s word goes on.

The work of righteousness,

Tidings of truth and peace;

For comfort in our life

Shall spread all round about;

Gentiles and Jews shall all bow down

And will worship acceptably.

There’s pow’r with Thee for the

Protection of Thine own;

And to Thy high decree

Shall millions take heed to;

The heaven rejoice to see Thy work,

The Islands far hear Thy command.

This perfect heav’nly seed

Shall grow to a big tree;

Like the blessed leaven

Shall spread all o’er the earth;

Till God the Son comes back again,

It will go on, Amen, Amen.
