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 on 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 reignsCertain 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!

Devotional Thought
This powerful song foreshadows the "new song" that the bride of Christ will sing before the throne of God, as we can read in Scripture (Revelation 14:3). The song will be a song of worship and praise; there will be no need for repentance or lamentation at that point. And the theme and focus will be the Lord, our God, who reigns!
We don't have wait to sing "Hallelujah," however, or to proclaim that Christ is the King of Kings. Already today we should regularly sing His praises, and profess Him as our Lord!
How will you sing His praises today? How will you profess His power and authority?
