Shout, for the Blessed Jesus Reigns

Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: TH1990 #369 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Benjamin Beddome Lyrics: 1 Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns; through distant lands his triumphs spread; and sinners, freed from endless pains, own him their Savior and their Head. 2 He calls his chosen from afar, they all at Zion's gates arrive; those who were dead in sin before by sovereign grace are made alive. 3 Gentiles and Jews his laws obey; nations remote their off'rings bring, and unconstrained their homage pay to their exalted God and King. 4 O may his holy church increase, his Word and Spirit still prevail, while angels celebrate his praise, and saints his growing glories hail. 5 Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb, from all below, and all above! In lofty songs exalt his name, in songs as lasting as his love.

O sweet and blessed country, that eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us to that dear land of rest; who art, with God the Father and Spirit, ever blest.

O let the words linger on the trembling chords; let the little while between in their golden light be seen; let us think how heav'n and home lie beyond that "Till he come." 2 When the weary ones we love enter on their rest above, seems the earth so poor and vast, all our life-joy overcast? Hush, be ev'ry murmur dumb: it is only till he come. 3 Clouds and conflicts round us press: would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, all that tells the world is loss, death and darkness, and the tomb, Only whisper "Till he come." 4 See, the feast of love is spread, drink the wine, and break the bread: sweet memorials, till the Lord call us round his heav'nly board; some from earth, from glory some, severed only till he come.
