REIGNING WITH CHRIST.

TUNE: “Song of a Thousand Years.”
LIFT up your eyes, desponding Christian! Fling to the winds your needless fears! He who unfurls your glorious banner, Says it shall wave a thousand years!

CHORUS.

A thousand years in Jesus’ kingdom! The glorious day so long foretold! The dazzling morn whose early twilight Gladdened the prophets’ hearts of old.
What if the grave, one little moment, Hide the blue sky ere morn appears— Soon the bright sun, in cloudless glory, Will rise to shine a thousand years! &c.
Tell the great world the blessed tidings! Yes, and be sure the sinner hears; That the beginning of life immortal, Is reigning with Christ a thousand years! &c.
Bend now your knees, ye dying mortals! Bedew the earth with contrite tears, Ere the bright light of his matchless glory, Shortens your lives a thousand years! &c.
Rebels to Jesus! hide your faces— Call for the rocks to calm your fears; You cannot stay his glorious Advent, Though you should strive a thousand years. &c.
Joy for the coming of that morning, That cheered the hearts of ancient seers! And strengthens the faith of his dear people, In reigning with Christ a thousand years! &c.
A thousand years of matchless glory, Rolling along mid the chiming spheres! Will be but the prelude to that blest story, That ushers us in to the endless years! &c.
