Zion’s King Shall Reign Victorious

Zion’s king shall reign vic­tor­ious

All the earth shall own His sway;

He will make His king­dom glo­ri­ous

He will reign through end­less day.

What though none on earth as­sist Him

God re­quires not help from man;

What though all the world re­sist Him

God will real­ize His plan.

Nations now from God es­trang­èd

Then shall see a glo­ri­ous light

Night to day shall then be chang­èd

Heaven shall tri­umph in the sight;

See the an­cient id­ols fall­ing!

Worshiped once

but now ab­horred;

Men on Zi­on’s king are call­ing

Zion’s king by all ad­ored.

Then shall Is­ra­el

long dis­pers­èd

Mourning seek the Lord their God

Look on Him whom once they pierc­èd

Own and kiss the chast­en­ing rod;

Then all Israel shall be savèd

War and tu­mult then shall cease

While the great­er Son of D­avid

Rules a con­quered world in peace.
