Christian Camp Songs & Chorus Hymns #28

I spent many years in my late teens and early twenties working at Christian Camps.  I even met my husband at a Christian camp.  These wonderful memories of great experiences make Christian camp songs very special to me.

On top of featuring an old hymn each month in what I call "Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing" - I will also be featuring a chorus hymn every month - ENJOY!
Today's featured song is "Our God Reigns" - Leonard Smith had a very interesting past.  He was 12 years old when his parents divorced and after that Mr. Smith found refuge in the Catholic church.  He later went to seminary.  He taught at many high schools but was fired because the schools claimed that he was too out spoken about Jesus.  He was forced to find work as a carpenter and it was through these difficult times that he began writing and when he wrote this beautiful hymn. 

"Therefore my people will know my name;
    therefore in that day they will know
that it is I who foretold it.
    Yes, it is I.”
 How beautiful on the mountains
    are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
    who bring good tidings,
    who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
    “Your God reigns!”."
Isaiah 52:6&7



I have included 2 YouTube videos of this amazing song (see below the lyrics) -  ENJOY!
Our God Reigns
Written & Composed by Leonard E Smith

1. How lovely on the mountains are the feet of Him.  Who brings good news, good news.  Announcing peace proclaiming news of happiness Our God reigns, Our God reigns.
CHORUS
2. He had no stately form, He had no majesty That we should be drawn to Him.  He was despised and we took no account of Him.  And now He reigns with the most High! Our God reigns, Our God reigns.
CHORUS
3. Out of the tomb He came with grace and majest;  He is alive, He is alive.  God loves us so, see here His hands, His feet, His side Yes we know, He is alive. Our God reigns, Our God reigns.
CHORUS

Chorus


 Our God reigns, Our God Reigns
Our God reigns, Our God Reigns
