He Shall Reign o’er All the Earth

lyricist: Sarah Stock, 1874
Composer: Alfred Foxwell

He shall reign o’er all the earth

He who wore the crown of thorn

Whom they deemed of lit­tle worth

Whom they met with hate and scorn;

Send the tid­ings forth that all

Humbly at His feet may fall.

Long His her­it­age hath lain

’Neath the false usurp­er’s sway;

He will claim it back again

Rout the foes and win the day.

Send the tid­ings forth that all

Humbly at His feet may fall.

Then be­neath His rule of peace

Heav’n shall smile

and earth shall sing

Ever yield­ing rich in­crease

To the hon­or of her king.

Send the tid­ings forth that all

Humbly at His feet may fall.

Hasten

Lord

the won­drous hour

Bid it strike from shore to shore

Thine the king­dom and the pow­er

Thine the glo­ry ev­er­more.

Bow each re­bel heart

till all

At Thy feet ad­or­ing fall.
