Hymn 441
Rejoice, for Jesus reigns
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
