Through the ages, the refrains call A kingdom rising beyond the fall The world was shaped by fire and stone Now his reign stands, the cornerstone The tide is turning, the banners fly Hope ignites beneath the sky The gates of bronze are breaking wide His justice flows like oceans’ tide Lift your eyes to the throne above Where mercy reigns and power moves The kingdom ascends, unshaken, strong A symphony of right from wrong The battle is won, the victory near The anthem of hope we boldly hear Let all creation join the song The kingdom ascends, where we belong Through storm and shadow, we pressed ahead The truth endured, though lies had spread A mighty chorus now fills the air The light of Christ beyond compare No fear remains, no chains can bind The dawn is here for all mankind The heavens declare, the earth responds The King is crowned, his will is done Lift your eyes to the throne above Where mercy reigns and power moves The kingdom ascends, unshaken, strong A symphony of right from wrong The battle is won, the victory near The anthem of hope we boldly hear Let all creation join the song The kingdom ascends, where we belong Rise, oh nations, stand and proclaim The glory of his eternal name Mountains bow, and rivers sing Every voice declares the King He speaks, and the stars take flight His word is fire, his reign is light An unshaken kingdom, forever sure Through endless ages, it will endure Lift your eyes to the throne above Where mercy reigns and power moves The kingdom ascends, unshaken, strong A symphony of right from wrong The battle is won, the victory near The anthem of hope we boldly hear Let all creation join the song The kingdom ascends, where we belong From the first breath to the final day His reign shall stand, come what may The banners of heaven fill the sky The kingdom ascends, it will never die
