Hymn 437
Earth, rejoice, our Lord is King!
1
Earth, rejoice, our Lord is King!
Sons of men His praises sing;
Sing ye in triumphant strains,
Jesus the Messiah reigns!
2
Pow’r is all to Jesus giv’n,
Lord of hell, and earth, and heaven;
Every knee to Him shall bow;
Satan, hear, and tremble now!
3
Angels and archangels join,
All triumphantly combine,
All in Jesus’ praise agree,
Carrying on His victory.
4
Though the sons of night blaspheme,
More than are with us than them;
God with us, we cannot fear;
Fear, ye friends, for Christ is here!
5
Lo! To faith’s enlightened sight,
All the mountain flames with light;
Hell’s nigh, but God is nigher,
Circling us with hosts of fire.
6
Christ the Saviour is come down,
Points us to the victors crown,
Bids us take our seats above,
More than conquerors in His love.
