About this Hymn
The full extent of the reign of Christ is surely impossible to comprehend, but Benjamin Beddome has painted us a compelling picture: millions (or billions) of souls bow at the throne, rebellious hearts are brought low by grace, all peoples and kingdoms on earth and the angelic host of heaven praise the great Redeemer. This is probably the most magnificent scene any of us could hope to experience.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Ascend thy throne, Almighty King, and spread thy glories all abroad; let thine own arm salvation bring, and be thou known the gracious God.
Verse 2
Let millions bow before thy seat; let humble mourners seek thy face; bring daring rebels to thy feet, subdued by thy victorious grace.
Verse 3
Oh, let the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of the Lord; let saints and angels praise thy name; be thou through heav'n and earth adored.
Ascend thy throne, Almighty King, and spread thy glories all abroad; let thine own arm salvation bring, and be thou known the gracious God.
Verse 2
Let millions bow before thy seat; let humble mourners seek thy face; bring daring rebels to thy feet, subdued by thy victorious grace.
Verse 3
Oh, let the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of the Lord; let saints and angels praise thy name; be thou through heav'n and earth adored.
