Sunday Hymn: Shout, for the Blessed Jesus Reigns
Sunday, January 4, 2009 at 07:51AM SHOUT, FOR THE BLESSED JESUS REIGNS
Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns;
Through distant lands his triumphs spread;
And sinners, freed from endless pains,
Own him their Saviour and their Head.
He calls his chosen form afar,
They all at Zion's gates arrive;
Those who were dead in sin before
By sovereign grace are made alive.
Gentiles and Jews his laws obey;
Nations remote their off'rings bring,
And unconstrained their homage pay
To their exalted God and King.
O may his holy church increase,
His Word and Spirit still prevail,
While angels celebrate his praise,
And saints his growing glories hail.
Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb,
From all below, and all above!
In lofty songs exalt his Name,
In songs as lasting as his love.

Do you think sometimes that we are a little too quiet when it comes to praising God? You see the words shout, loud, exalt, hail....
things that make me wonder...
This one was new to me but I surely enjoyed singing it this morning!
It's new to me too, and I like it!
