The Christ is king o’er all the world,
O let us praise His name;
His banner over the earth unfurled,
O praise His holy name.
Refrain
Jesus saves, Prince of Peace,
His truth now all proclaim.
His love for us will ever live,
O praise His holy name.
With Jesus all is love and peace,
O let us praise His name;
Our songs for Him will never cease,
O praise His holy name.
Refrain
His light of love shines over all,
O let us praise His name;
With His support we cannot fall,
O praise His holy name.
Refrain
He’s with us now and every day,
O let us praise His name;
He is the true, the only way,
O praise His holy name.
