Your God Reigns
How lovely on the mountains are
The feet of him who brings good news
Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Great joy and peace shall He diffuse
O You who bring good tidings, rise!
To Zion say, “Your King is near!”
Arise, proclaim to Judah’s towns
“Behold your God!” and have no fear
Prepare the way of Yehovah
Make straight a highway for our Lord
His strong right hand shall rule for Him
Before Him is His just reward
And like a shepherd He will feed
His sheep, and gather every one
He carries them within His arms
And gently leads the ones with young
O Zion, shout and sing for joy
For He returns to save His fold
Then David’s booth shall be restored
Repaired, as in the days of old
For He redeems Jerusalem
And Zion’s wastes He shall restore
There multitudes shall shout and sing
And mourning cease forevermore
Awake, O Zion, rise in strength
For you shall not be put to shame
Your God shall be Your constant light
For praise, and beauty, and a name
Your King shall take delight in you
His precious treasure you shall be
For He shall seek you, not forsake
Your sons returning you shall see
Behold! Salvation comes to you
Rejoice, for you shall be restored
Then all the farthest lands shall see
The great salvation of our Lord
