C5 
It's the song of the redeemed  
G5                       D5 
Rising from the African plain  
         C5 
It's the song of the forgiven  
G5                       D5 
Drowning out the Amazon rain  
            C5 
The song of Asian believers  
G5                      D5 
Filled with God's holy fire  
                        C5 
It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation  
  G5                            D5 
A love song born of a grateful choir  

It's all God's children singing  
C5             G5 
Glory, glory, hallelujah  
   D5 
He reigns, He reigns  
 
It's all God's children singing  
C5             G5 
Glory, glory, hallelujah  
   D5 
He reigns, He reigns  


       C5 
Let it rise about the four winds  
G5                         D5 
Caught up in the heavenly sound  
                          C5 
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals  
       G5                      D5 
To the faithful gathered underground  
                               C5 
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation  
G5                     D5 
Some were meant to persist  
                             C5 
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples  
G5                     D5 
None rings truer than this  
 

            C5 
And all the powers of darkness  
G5                            D5 
Tremble at what they've just heard  
               C5 
'Cause all the powers of darkness  
G5                       D5 
Can't drown out a single word  

When all God's children sing out  
C5             G5 
Glory, glory, hallelujah  
   D5 
He reigns, He reigns  
 
All God's people singing  
C5             G5 
Glory, glory, hallelujah  
   D5 
He reigns, He reigns
