We shout the shout of joy divine

To God, the great high king;

Let all nations their tongues employ

To sing the triumph song.

Jesus our Lord ascended up

Thronged by the Heav’nly host

They ascended to heav’n with Him

With glorious trumpet blast.

As angels praise their king on high

Let creatures join the song

Let all the earth echo His praise,

He reigns all o’er the earth.

In fear and trembling, sing His praises,

Thy whole senses employ;

Do not employ deceitful tongue,

Nor on thy lips alone.
