He Shall Reign Forevermore

Em               C2      G            D
In the bleak mid-winter, all creation groans
Em             C2        G             D
For a world in darkness, frozen like a stone
         Am9     C2       G
Light is breaking, in a stable
         D
For a throne


[Chorus]
    Em          C2        G            D/F#
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
    Em          C2        G            D/F#
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
   Em        C2
Un - to us a child is born
      G                D
The King of kings and Lord of lords
    Em          C2        G            D/F#
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore

[Verse 2]
Em          C2        G              D/F#
If I were a wise man, I would travel far
    Em          C2        G             Bm
And if I were a shepherd, I would do my part
            Am9    C2
But poor as I am
        G               D
I will give to Him my heart


[Chorus]
    Em          C2        G            D/F#
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore

And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
   Em        C2
Un - to us a child is born
      G                D
The King of kings and Lord of lords
    Em          C2        G            D/F#
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore


[Bridge]
Em              C2
Here within a manger lies
    G                  D
The One who made the starry skies
      Em              C2
This baby born for sa - crifice
G/D             D
Christ, the Messiah
  Em              C2
Into our hopes, into our fears
     G             D/F#
The Savior of the world appears
      Em
The promise of eternal years
G/D             D
Christ, the Messiah

He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
Em          C2        G            D/F#
He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
    Em          C2        G            D/F#
And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
   Em        C2
Un - to us a child is born
