Reign Scoville Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: I know the hope which the Christians possess Refrain First Line: Jesus reigns is the message the angels declare Lyrics: 1 I know the hope which the Christians possess, Gives joy and comfort thro’ all earth’s distress; In yonder country, that’s free from all stains, We’ll live forever where Jesus reigns. Jesus reigns is the message the angels declare; Jesus reigns, all the ransom’d His glory shall share; Jesus reigns, He’s the light of that city so fair, Oh, that will be heaven and glory forever where Jesus reigns. 2 Homes are so happy where this hope doth hold, They’ll live up yonder on streets of pure gold; Death cannot harm them, they’re free from His chains, Life is eternal, for Jesus reigns. Jesus reigns is the message the angels declare; Jesus reigns, all the ransom’d His glory shall share; Jesus reigns, He’s the light of that city so fair, Oh, that will be heaven and glory forever where Jesus reigns. 3 Some day I’ll rise to that world all unknown, See Jesus seated up there on His throne; And see the cleft that was made for my stains, Blest Rock of Ages, King Jesus reigns. Jesus reigns is the message the angels declare; Jesus reigns, all the ransom’d His glory shall share; Jesus reigns, He’s the light of that city so fair, Oh, that will be heaven and glory forever where Jesus reigns. 4 Friends will be there whom we loved long ago, Where crystal river forever will flow; They shall be like Him, no earth scar remains, Transform’d forever for, Jesus reigns. Jesus reigns is the message the angels declare; Jesus reigns, all the ransom’d His glory shall share; Jesus reigns, He’s the light of that city so fair, Oh, Thine is the kingdom and glory forever where Jesus reigns.
