VERSE 1:
Christ shall have dominion over land and sea,
Earth's remotest regions shall His empire be;
they that wilds inhabit shall their worship bring,
kings shall render tribute, nations serve our King.
CHORUS:
Christ shall have dominion over land and sea,
earth's remotest regions shall His empire be.
VERSE 2:
When the needy seek Him, He will mercy show;
all the weak and helpless shall His pity know;
He will surely save them from oppression's might,
for their lives are precious in His holy sight.
CHORUS:
Christ shall have dominion over land and sea,
earth's remotest regions shall His empire be.

and all nations hail Him King of kings confessed.

Christ shall have dominion over land and sea,
earth's remotest regions shall His empire be.

Evermore, you people, bless His matchless name,
His eternal glory through the earth proclaim.

earth's remotest regions shall His empire be.
