Lyrics
There’s an endless song
Waiting to be sung
With the voice of every tribe
The sound of every tongue
When the bride of Christ
19On that day of days
Brings with joy unto the Lamb
A multitude of praise
Like the roar of mighty seas
And rolls of thunder
Hear His people sing
Hallelujah, hallelujah
For the Lord Almighty reigns
Hallelujah, hallelujah
For the Lord, our God, the Almighty reigns
We will join the feast
Rest from battles won
Tell with great rejoicing
All the wonders God has done
And like the roar of mighty seas
And rolls of thunder
All the church will sing
Hallelujah, hallelujah
For the Lord Almighty reigns
Hallelujah, hallelujah
For the Lord, our God, the Almighty reigns
Certain of that day
Christ we will proclaim
Oh, that more would share the prize
Salvation in His name
Then greater will the anthem ring
The mighty chorus rising to the King
Hallelujah, hallelujah
For the Lord Almighty reigns
Hallelujah, hallelujah
For the Lord, our God, the Almighty reigns
Hallelujah, hallelujah
For the Lord Almighty reigns
Hallelujah, hallelujah
For the Lord, our God, the Almighty reigns

Meaning & Inspiration
“The Lord Almighty Reigns” looks ahead to the worship of Christ by people from every tribe and tongue. The opening vision moves from an unfinished song to a multitude gathered before the Lamb, joining diverse voices in one confession. Images of a wedding feast, completed battles, and thunderous praise give the lyric the character of biblical hope rather than present triumphalism.
Its hallelujah refrain closely echoes Revelation’s announcement that the Lord God Almighty reigns. The later verse connects that future certainty with present proclamation, expressing a desire that more people share in salvation through Christ. Rather than treating heaven only as rest, the song pictures it as joyful worship and testimony to all God has done. The recurring sound of seas and thunder enlarges the scene without shifting its focus from the King. Across each section, Christ’s reign, the church’s praise, and salvation in his name remain inseparable themes.
