C It's the song of the redeemed G D Rising from the African plain C It's the song of the forgiven G D Drowning out the Amazon rain C The song of Asian believers G D Filled with God's holy fire C It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation G D A love song born of a grateful choir It's all God's children singing C G Glory, glory, hallelujah D He reigns, He reigns It's all God's children singing C G Glory, glory, hallelujah D He reigns, He reigns C Let it rise about the four winds G D Caught up in the heavenly sound C Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals G D To the faithful gathered underground C Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation G D Some were meant to persist C Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples G D None rings truer than this C And all the powers of darkness G D Tremble at what they've just heard C 'Cause all the powers of darkness G D Can't drown out a single word When all God's children sing out C G Glory, glory, hallelujah D He reigns, He reigns All God's people singing C G Glory, glory, hallelujah D He reigns, He reigns
