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 (Chorus) 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 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 Chorus
