1. Hear the royal proclamation, The glad tidings of salvation, Publishing to every creature, To the ruined sons of nature; | 2. See the royal banner flying, Hear the heralds loudly crying, "Rebel sinners, royal favor Now is offered by the Savior." | 3. Hear, ye sons of wrath and ruin, Who have wrought your own undoing, Here is life and free salvation, Offered to the whole creation. | 4. Turn unto the Lord most holy, Shun the paths of vice and folly; Turn, or you are lost for ever, O! now turn to God the Savior. | Jesus reigns, he reigns victorious, Over heaven and earth most glorious, Jesus reigns. | |
