Christ Is King (Bacon)

Christ is King o’er hill and val­ley

And upon the roll­ing sea;

Hear the mig­hty shouts

Of tri­umph and of joy!

Sinful forc­es are re­ced­ing

Right is gain­ing vic­to­ry;

Peace and glad­ness reign

That no­thing can de­stroy!

Christ is King

eter­nal King

Christ is King

eter­nal King;

Ransomed ones are voic­ing now

The glad re­frain;

Christ is King

eter­nal King

Christ is King

eter­nal King;

And in pow­er and glo­ry

Ev­er shall He reign!

Christ is King

all na­ture ech­oes

In a joy­ous

thank­ful song

Mountains

riv­ers

birds and

Flowers Him ad­ore;

From His hand all good is giv­en

Justice

power to Him be­long

And His praise is ring­ing e’er

From shore to shore!

Christ is King

all na­tions own Him

As they bow be­fore the throne

Praising Him for un­told bless­ings

Grace and love;

Mercy

good­ness

hon­or

glo­ry

They as­cribe to Him alone

As their fer­vent songs and pray­ers

Rise ab­ove!

Christ is King

eter­nal

migh­ty

Blest Re­deem­er of the world;

Angels kneel in ado­ra­tion

At His feet;

Till each soul con­fess al­le­giance

Shall His ban­ner be un­furled

And the saved in end­less bliss

Their Lord shall meet!
