1. Rise in your might, ye ransomed ones, arise;
Jesus shall reign, the King of earth and skies;
Shout ye his praises, exalt him and sing;
Let all creation proclaim him the King.
Chorus:
Jesus is King, (Jesus is King,) Jesus is King; (Jesus is King;)
Sing and rejoice, ye ransomed sinners;
Shout till earth in triumph shall ring,
Jesus is King, (Jesus is King,) Jesus is King; (Jesus is King;)
Come and adore him, bow before him;
Shout and sing, Jesus is King.
2. Gird on your swords, his righteous cause defend;
Vanquish the foes against it who contend;
He will uphold you while heaven shall stand,
By his eternal, omnipotent hand.
3. Stand firm and true, his kingdom must increase,
Soon o’er his realms the King shall reign in peace;
Then ev’ry nation before him shall fall,
Glad to proclaim him the King over all.
4. When he shall come to gather up his own,
Ye shall sit down with him upon the throne;
Then shall the ransomed triumphantly sing,
Glory and honor to Jesus the King.
