LyicsLet earth, with every isle and sea,
Rejoice; the Savior reigns:
His word, like fire, prepares his way,
And mountains melt to plains.
His presence sinks the proudest hills
And makes the valleys rise;
The humble soul enjoys his smiles,
The haughty sinner dies.
Adoring angels, at his birth,
Make our Redeemer known;
Thus shall he come to judge the earth,
And angels guard his throne.
His foes shall tremble at his sight,
And hills and seas retire;
His children take their upward flight,
And leave the world on fire.
The seeds of joy and glory sown
For saints in darkness here,
Shall rise and spring in worlds unknown,
And a rich harvest bear.
