Song Lyrics

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 above 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

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

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

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 (He reigns)
All God's children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns (He reigns)

All God's people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah (every child)
He reigns, He reigns (hallelujah, hallelujah)
It's all God's people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah (every child)
He reigns, He reigns, yeah (hallelujah, hallelujah)

All singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah (every child)
Glory, glory, yeah (hallelujah, he reigns, hallelujah)
All singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah (every child)
He reigns (hallelujah, he reigns, hallelujah)

All God's people singing (you're my glory)
Glory, glory, hallelujah (you're my glory, you're my glory)
He reigns (hallelujah, he reigns, hallelujah)
All God's people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah (you're my glory)
He reigns (hallelujah, he reigns, hallelujah)

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