EARTH, rejoice, our Lord is King!By A Collection of Hymns 7s. 1 EARTH, rejoice, our Lord is King! Sons of men, his praises sing; Sing ye in triumphant strains, Jesus the Messiah reigns!
2 Power is all to Jesus given, 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 Jesu's praise agree, Carrying on his victory. 4 Though the sons of night blaspheme, More there are with us than them; God with us, we cannot fear; Fear, ye fiends, for Christ is here! 5 Lo! to faith's enlightened sight, All the mountain flames with light, Hell is nigh, but God is nigher, Circling us with hosts of fire. 6 Christ the Saviour is come down, Points us to the victor's crown, Bids us take our seats above, More than conquerors in his love.
