It's the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It's the song of the forgiven

Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God's holy fire

It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir


It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns


Let it rise about the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound

Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation

Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this


And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they've just heard

'Cause all the powers of darkness
Can't drown out a single word


When all God's children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

All God's people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
