Work Overview

Welcome your Reign is a hymn suitable for processional or recessional use at liturgical celebrations. The lyric's themes include: thanks; praise; gathering as Body of Christ; witnesses; reign of Jesus in our hearts; gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The full lyrics are:

1. Give thanks and praise always.
With joy all hands are raised.
Gather as one in Jesus,
Body of Christ present now -
in pilgrim lives, awakening,
to sacramental mystery.
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.

Refrain: We will be your witnesses;
Yes, living shrines of blessed love!

2. Give thanks and praise always.
With joy all hands are raised.
Welcome your reign O Jesus,
Stay in our hearts all our days -
Kingdom of love, here and above,
In ev'ry moment present now!
Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.

Refrain: We will be your witnesses;
Yes, bearers of your sacred gifts:
Mercy, compassion and justice;
Charity, peace, joy and kindness;
Gentleness, goodness and patience;
Wisdom, right judgement and wonder.
