This richly imageric royal poem celebrates the perfect, eternal government of Jesus Christ, drawing deeply from biblical prophecy (especially Isaiah 9:6-7 and Revelation).

It opens with Christ enthroned in dazzling glory: seated on a throne of sapphire light, crowned in radiant gold and jewels, wielding a scepter of righteous power as the Lion of Judah and slain Lamb who now reigns supreme.

The poem emphasizes the absolute flawlessness of His rule—no injustice, no shadow of wrong—where true peace transforms creation: mountains and valleys rejoice, predators lie down with prey, and crystal rivers flow from His throne to heal the nations, ending all sorrow and tears.

Nations and kings stream to worship Him, laying their crowns at His feet as His kingdom expands without limit across the earth and into eternity.

The work closes with triumphant praise for this majestic, unblemished dominion of grace, justice, and endless light, where Christ Jesus reigns forever as King of kings and Lord of lords.

In essence, it is a visionary hymn of adoration portraying the ultimate hope of history: the flawless, royal government of Christ that brings perfect peace, healing, and glory to all creation.

Upon a throne of sapphire light,
Enthroned in glory pure and bright,
The Lion of Judah, Lamb once slain,
Now reigns supreme o’er earth’s domain.

His crown of gold, with jewels rare,
Outshines the sun in noonday glare;
A scepter wrought of righteous might
Extends o’er realms of endless light.

The government rests on His shoulder broad,
Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God;
No flaw in justice, no shadow of wrong,
His laws like rivers of crystal flow strong.

Mountains bow low in verdant praise,
Valleys exalted in golden haze;
The wolf dwells gentle with the lamb,
The lion eats straw at the child’s hand.

Crystal streams from His throne descend,
Healing the nations, making wounds mend;
No tear shall fall, no sorrow remain,
In this flawless kingdom where Jesus reigns.

Nations stream to His radiant hill,
Kings lay crowns at His feet so still;
From shore to shore, His kingdom spreads,
Till moons forget their waning threads.

O perfect rule, O royal grace,
In courts of pearl and jasper’s face;
All hail the King of kings divine,
Whose flawless government shall shine
Forevermore in realms of light—
Christ Jesus reigns in power and might!
