Rejoice, for Jesus reigns

Verse 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

Verse 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

Verse 3
There's power with Thee for the
Protection of Thine own;
And to Thy high decree
Shall millions take heed to;
The heav'ns rejoice to see Thy work
The islands far hear Thy command

Verse 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
