The Savior reigns, Let men their songs employ; While fields, and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy. ---- 3. He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove: The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders of His love. |  Listen to Song! |
