Verse 1
The word thy sacred lips has past,
The sure irrevocable word
That every soul shall bow at last,
And swear allegiance to its Lord,
The kingdoms of the earth shall be
For ever subjected to thee.
Verse 2
Ev’n now whoe’er in thee believes
Thy righteousness and strength obtains,
Thy kingdom in his heart receives,
And Conqueror of the world he reigns,
Sees all thy foes with shame submit,
And Satan bruis’d beneath his feet.
Verse 3
Surely in Christ by faith reveal’d
Forgiveness and full power have I,
Thy people know their pardon seal’d,
Ev’n all who on thy death rely,
We glory in the Prince of Peace,
We praise the Lord our righteousness.
