===================================================

REIGN, MASSA JESUS!
Traditional Negro Spiritual

REFRAIN
Oh, reign, oh reign, oh, reign Massa Jesus,
Reign, Massa Jesus, reign.
Oh, bring salvation to my soul--
Reign, Massa Jesus, reign.

VERSE
One day as I was walking along
(Reign, Massa Jesus, reign.)
I thought I heard an angel call.
(Reign, Massa Jesus, reign.)
