Verse 1

God of all ages the Mighty
Whom heaven and earth adore
All of your creatures acclaim you
As the Maker of all
As the Giver of life
As the Sovereign and only God

Verse 2

Lord of all nations our Father
To whom every knee must bend
Let all the peoples confess you
As their Shepherd and King
As their Master and Lord
As the Ruler of all the world

Chorus

For the Lord he reigns over all the earth
And his name is great to the highest heaven
And the firm earth shakes
And the waves lie still
And the hard heart breaks to his sovereign will
For the Lord he reigns—Amen
For the Lord he reigns—Amen

Jesus Redeemer our Savior
Who purchased us by your blood
All of your people acclaim you
As the light of the world
As the hope of our soul
As the king who will come again

For the Lord he reigns over all the earth
And his name is great to the highest heaven
And the firm earth shakes
And the waves lie still
And the hard heart breaks to his sovereign will
