Lyrics

Christ shall be king of the whole wide world,
He shall be king, let prais­es ring!
Under His ban­ner of love un­furled,
There shall be ga­thered the whole wide world,
And Christ shall be the king.

Refrain

Over all the world Christ shall be the King,
Over all the world let His prais­es ring;
Every land and na­tion
Shall know His great sal­va­tion;
Christ shall be the King,
He shall be the King.

Christ shall be King ov­er land and sea,
He shall be King, let prais­es ring!
He who re­deemed us and made us free,
King of the world shall for­ev­er be,
Yes, Christ shall be the King.

Refrain

Christ shall be King in my heart today,
He shall be King, let prais­es ring!
Over each thought and each pur­pose sway,
All that I have shall be His alway,
For Christ shall be the King.
