C 
It's the song of the redeemed  
G                       D 
Rising from the African plain  
         C 
It's the song of the forgiven  
G                       D 
Drowning out the Amazon rain  
            C 
The song of Asian believers  
G                      D 
Filled with God's holy fire  
                        C 
It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation  
  G                            D 
A love song born of a grateful choir  

It's all God's children singing  
C             G 
Glory, glory, hallelujah  
   D 
He reigns, He reigns  
 
It's all God's children singing  
C             G 
Glory, glory, hallelujah  
   D 
He reigns, He reigns  

       C 
Let it rise about the four winds  
G                         D 
Caught up in the heavenly sound  
                          C 
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals  
       G                      D 
To the faithful gathered underground  
                               C 
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation  
G                     D 
Some were meant to persist  
                             C 
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples  
G                     D 
None rings truer than this  
 
            C 
And all the powers of darkness  
G                            D 
Tremble at what they've just heard  
               C 
'Cause all the powers of darkness  
G                       D 
Can't drown out a single word  

When all God's children sing out  
C             G 
Glory, glory, hallelujah  
   D 
He reigns, He reigns  
 
All God's people singing  
C             G 
Glory, glory, hallelujah  
   D 
He reigns, He reigns
