This was the hymn that first popped into my head last night–Christ Shall Have Dominion, by Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert & Sullivan fame), sung here by the congregation at Grace Reformed Church in Dunnville, Ohio.
It’s His right to rule the earth–and no one else’s.
We have no king but Jesus Christ.
Christ Shall Have Dominion, by Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert & Sullivan), sung by the congregation of Grace Reformed Church in Dunnville, Ontario. And yes, Sullivan’s melody also goes with Onward, Christian Soldiers.
When he wasn’t writing operettas with W.S. Gilbert, Arthur Sullivan wrote hymns. Christ Shall Have Dominion came out in 1871. The first time I posted it here, someone objected strenuously. I guess he wanted someone else to have dominion. God defend us.
Sung by the congregation at Grace Reformed Church in Dunnville, Ontario.
