Jesus Shall Reign

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does its successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till sun shall rise and set no more.

Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
The pris'ner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blessed.

To our King be highest praise
Rising through eternal days.
Just and faithful He shall reign:
Jesus shall reign!

People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His Name.

Let every creature rise and bring
Blessing and honor to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud amen!

Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.
Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.

O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.

What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.
Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer's blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?

Unto the grave, what will we sing?
“Christ He lives, Christ He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with Him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.

Psalm 73:23–28

23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
28 But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

As For Me (Psalm 73)

Why do the wicked men prosper?
Why do I envy the proud?
They scoff and they rage and defile Your name; Still, riches and favor abound.

Lord, would You keep me from stumbling?
Guard me from all of my doubt.
My heart and my flesh, though they fail me again, You are the strength that I've found.

As for me, Your presence is my good.
As for me, Your presence is my good.
You are my treasure, my portion forever.
As for me, Your presence is my good.

Faithful You are to remind me,
Faithful to show me the truth.
Finally I see You are all that I need,
And all that I need is in You.

Whom have I in heaven?
Who else would I run to?
There is no one I desire;
Only You, only You, only You.

You Will Make All Things New

We can feel it
In the suffering everywhere
Are we hopeless,
Are we broken past repair?

Are You with us?
Have You left us in the dark?
Can You hear us?
Do our cries still move Your heart?

Jesus, You will make all things new.
Jesus, You will make all things new.

You will heal us,
You will mend what death has torn.
Life will spring up,
Joy will bloom instead of thorns.

The blind will finally see,
The lame will run and leap,
The dead will rise and breathe,
For You have conquered!
And every tear that fell
Will cry out “It is well!”
The dark will be dispelled,
For You have conquered!
The Lamb for sinners slain
Is coming soon to reign,
Our hope is not in vain,
For You have conquered!
