VERSE 1
Awake and in His strength renewed
The battle cry take up again
All enemies shall be subdued
And Christ the Lord shall reign.

For Christ must reign,
For Christ must reign
Our hope in Him is not in vain
For Christ must reign
For Christ must reign
For Christ must reign
Our hope in Him is not in vain
For Christ must reign
VERSE 2
Too long His followers idly strod
By selfish creed and doctrine rent
Nor knew that for one Brotherhood
His on short life was spent.
CHORUS
For Christ must reign,
For Christ must reign
Our hope in Him is not in vain
For Christ must reign
For Christ must reign
For Christ must reign
Our hope in Him is not in vain
For Christ must reign
VERSE 3
Unite and in His strength go on
Nor want a life as lost but gain
And soon the victory shall be won
For Jesus Christ must reign.
CHORUS
For Christ must reign,
For Christ must reign
Our hope in Him is not in vain
For Christ must reign
For Christ must reign
For Christ must reign
Our hope in Him is not in vain
For Christ must reign
VERSE 4
To dare and O for Him is meet
The struggle shall not be in vain
The trumpet shall not call "Retreat",
For Jesus Christ must reign.
CHORUS
For Christ must reign,
For Christ must reign
Our hope in Him is not in vain
For Christ must reign
For Christ must reign
For Christ must reign
Our hope in Him is not in vain
For Christ must reign
