The Hymn of God's Word Our God Reigns as King

I

How beautiful! His feet are on the Mount of Olives. Listen, we watchmen are singing loud together, for God has returned to Zion. We've seen the desolation of Jerusalem! Now we sing of joy for God's comforts, and His salvation of Jerusalem. Before all nations, God shows His holy arm, He appears as He truly is. People on the earth, all see God's salvation. Your great love has held us fast, Your sacred word pierces us through and through. Almighty God! Thanks be to You, praise unto You! Father everlasting, Prince of Peace, our God reigns as King over all!

II

    Out from the throne of Almighty God, the seven Spirits are sent to churches everywhere. Your mysteries are revealed. You rule on Your throne of glory. With justice and righteousness, You strengthen Your kingdom. All nations bow down before You. Almighty God, He appears as He truly is. People on the earth, all see God's salvation. Your great love has held us fast, Your sacred word pierces us through and through. Almighty God! Thanks be to You, praise unto You! Father everlasting, Prince of Peace, our God reigns as King over all!

III

    Darkness shrouds all lands, covers all people. But God You appear and shine Your light upon us, Your glory in us manifest. All nations and all kings come to Your light. You raise eyes to look about You. Your sons are getting around You from afar. Your daughters come too, borne in Your arms. You lead us forward on the road to Your kingdom. People on the earth, all see God's salvation. Your great love has held us fast, Your sacred word pierces us through and through. Almighty God! Thanks be to You, praise unto You! Father everlasting, Prince of Peace, our God reigns as King over all! With a heart sincere, serene, and faithful, we look up to You, bear witness to You, raise You up, sing praise to You. We construct ourselves in united harmony. May You make us ones pleasing to You, fit to be used by You. May Your will be carried out on earth, without being stopped by any force.

IV

    You've loosed the girdle of the kings, that the gates of their cities shall be open and nevermore be shut to You. For Your light of glory has come shining forth. Almighty God! Thanks be to You, praise unto You! Father everlasting, Prince of Peace, our God reigns as King! Almighty God! Thanks be to You, praise unto You! Father everlasting, Prince of Peace, our God reigns as King over all!

from Utterances and Testimonies of Christ in the Beginning

    Eastern Lightning | The Church of Almighty God came into being because of the work of the returned Lord Jesus—Almighty God, Christ of the last days in China, and it isn't established by any person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. After reading God’s word, you will see that God has appeared.
