Hymn: Christ Shall Have Dominion

Christ Shall Have Dominion

From The Psalter, 1912

Based on Psalm 72

(Tune: 'Onward Christian Soldiers')


Christ shall have dominion 
Over land and sea,
Earth's remotest regions 
Shall His empire be;
They that wilds inhabit 
Shall their worship bring;
Kings shall render tribute, 
Nations serve our King.

When the needy seek Him, 
He will mercy show;
Yea, the weak and helpless 
Shall His pity know.
He will surely save them 
From oppression's might,
For their lives are precious 
In His holy sight.

Ever and forever 
Shall His name endure;
Long as suns continue 
It shall stand secure;
And in him forever 
All men shall be blest,
And all nations hail Him 
King of kings confessed.

Unto God Almighty 
Joyful Zion sings;
He alone is glorious, 
Doing wondrous things.
Evermore, ye people, 
Bless His glorious name,
His eternal glory 
Through the earth proclaim.
