You paint the night, You count the stars
And You call them by name
The skies proclaim, God, You reign

Your glory shines, You teach the sun
When to bring a new day
Creation sings, God, You reign
God, You reign, God, You reign
Forever and ever, God, You reign

You part the seas, You move the mountains
With the words that You say
My song remains, God, You reign

You hold my life, You know my heart
And You call me by name
I live to say, God, You reign

God, You reign, God, You reign
Forever and ever, God, You reign
God, You reign, God, You reign
I know You reign
Forever and ever, God, You reign

Hallelujah, Hallelu, Hallelujah, Hallelu

You reign over me
Forever and ever, God, You reign
God, You reign, God, You reign

Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give us second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

(Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh)
Glory to the King...
