List, I hear the angels singing,
Yonder round the starry throne,
In the regions of immortals,
Christ awaits to claim His own.
Refrain
Christ is reigning, Christ is reigning,
Hear the music round the throne;
He is coming, He is coming,
He will come to claim His own.
Yonder in the choirs of Heaven,
Glory, glory swells the strain,
Over death He is triumphant,
Christ the Lord is ris’n again.
Refrain
We shall see Him and be like Him,
O what rapture in the thought,
When we wear the crown of glory
We shall praise Him as we ought.
Refrain
He is risen, our Redeemer,
Mighty still His own to save,
He has given us the victory,
Victory even o’er the grave.
