Christ, That Ever Reigneth

Christ, that ever reigneth, Christ, that here remaineth,

Christ, within us dwelling, Christ in praise excelling,

Him we proclaim, His glorious Name;

To our Creator render

Homage all due; lowly and true

Homage to Him we tender.

Heaven's high host rejoices, lifting up all voices,

Jubilant with gladness-yet the earth with sadness

Dreading her fate God doth await

Who judgment strict revealeth;

Merciful power, save in that hour

Those whom Thy passion healeth!

Raise us, cleansed, to regions where the angel legions

Round Thee aye are soaring, with Thy saints adoring;

Grant us Thy peace, bid dangers cease,

And Thou, Thy mercy sending,

Christ, give us rest, where, with the blest,

Thy reign is never ending.
