Original lyrics
ENKing Jesus reigns, enthroned on high!
We lift our voice and glorify
His majesty, his power and grace
And his high sovereignty embrace
Though kings usurp and proud men try
Their pompous selves to deify
Adoring praise shall never cease
For Christ, redeemer, prince of peace!
King Jesus rules upon his throne
And does the wealth of nations own
While fading things to caesar bring
Ourselves we render to our king
While pharaohs, kings, and emperors boast
The king of kings leads out his host
The proud, one day, shall bow the knee
When Christ in triumph sets us free!
King Jesus wears his worthy crown
Though envious men and nations frown
And we, by grace, on eagle’s wings
Uphold the crown rights of our king!
His holy nation, chosen ones
We joyful bow, and with our tongues
We hymn allegiance high and sing
Hail Jesus! Sovereign lord our king!
