Lyrics
The Lion of Judah awakens the dawn
Death is defeated, the curtain is torn
Calling his church to live in unending praise
Standing among us the Ancient of Days
Sending his church with his eyes all ablaze
Go tell the world with joy, that King Jesus reigns
Oh rise, o church, arise
In the Spirit's power, arise
With his word on our lips, his life in our veins
The message of hope to the world
That King Jesus reigns
In every nation his people will sing
This song of salvation to Jesus our king
The joy of our heart resounds, let the nations be glad
We walk in his footsteps every day
Bearing our cross with his love on display
The road heart and feet that bring, the joy of our king
Oh rise, o church, arise
In the Spirit's power, arise
With his word on our lips, his life in our veins
The message of hope to the world
That King Jesus reigns
(Ever to reign)
(Reigns, reigns, reigns, reigns)
The sunset is coming when no time remains
The harvest is plenty, so still we proclaim
The power of God to save, the hope of the world
Oh rise, o church, arise
In the Spirit's power, arise
With his word on our lips, his life in our veins
The message of hope to the world
That King Jesus reigns
Oh rise, o church, arise
In the Spirit's power, arise
With his word on our lips, his life in our veins
The message of hope to the world
That King Jesus reigns
That King Jesus reigns
Every nation, that King Jesus reigns
