The Lord in Zion Reigneth
Verse 1
The Lord in Zion reigneth,
Let all the world rejoice,
And come before His throne of grace
With tuneful heart and voice;
The Lord in Zion reigneth,
And there His praise shall ring,
To Him shall princes bend the knee
And kings their glory bring.
Let all the world rejoice,

And kings their glory bring.
Verse 2
The Lord in Zion reigneth,
And who so great as He?
The depths of earth are in His hands;
He rules the mighty sea.
O crown His Name with honor,
And let His standard wave,
Till distant isles beyond the deep
Shall own His power to save.

Verse 3
The Lord in Zion reigneth,
These hours to Him belong;
O enter now His temple gates,
And fill His courts with song;
Beneath His royal banner
Let every creature fall,
Exalt the King of heaven and earth,
And crown Him Lord of all.

A Dutch harvest hymn of thanksgiving transformed into a beloved general hymn of gratitude and national unity.
