Christ, the King of Zion

lyricist: John Atchinson, 1879
Composer: George Halls

His name hath God ex­alt­ed

Above the names of earth;

No oth­er name in Heav­en

Compares with its great worth;

And at the name of Je­sus

Low ev­ery knee shall bend

And ev­ery tongue con­fess Him

Whose reign shall nev­er end!

O Christ

Thou King of Zi­on

We bow be­fore Thy throne;

We praise Thy name for­ev­er

We wor­ship Thee alone.

Christ is the King of Zion

Of kings the one great King

And ev­ery tribe and na­tion

To Him shall trib­ute bring;

The hea­then He shall con­quer

The earth from sea to sea

Shall be His own pos­ses­sion—

Yes

Christ shall vic­tor be.

O Christ

speed on Thy king­dom

And let Thy will be done

On earth

as ’tis in Heav­en

Where Thou art king alone;

May tid­ings of sal­va­tion

Soon spread the earth around

And ov­er land to ocean

Thy praise alone re­sound.
