LyicsRejoice, O earth, the Lord is King,
To him your humble tribute bring,
Let Jacob rise, and Zion sing,
And all the world with praises ring,
And give to Jesus glory.
O may the saints, of ev'ry name,
Unite to serve the bleeding Lamb;
May jars and discords cease to flame,
And all the Saviour's love proclaim,
And give to Jesus glory.
I long to see the Christians join,
In union sweet, and love divine,
And glory thro' the churches shine,
And Gentiles crowding to the sign,
To give to Jesus glory,
O may the distant lands rejoice,
And mourners hear the Bridegroom's voice,
While praise their happy tongues employ,
And all obtain immoral joys,
And give to Jesus glory.
Come parents, children, bond and fee,
Come, will you go to heaven with me,
That glorious land of liberty,
And shout in bliss eternally,
And give to Jesus glory.
My soul grows happy while I sing,
I fell that I am on the wing,
I'll shout salvation to my King,
Till I to heav'n my trophies bring,
And give to Jesus glory.
Those beauteous fields of living green,
Thro' faith my joyful eyes have seen,
Tho' Jordan's billows roll between,
We soon shall cross the narrow stream,
And give to Jesus glory.
A few more days of pain ad wo,
A few more suff'ring scenes below,
And then to glory we will go,
Where everlasting pleasures flow,
And give to Jesus glory.
Then we shall weep and part no more,
When we have met on Canaan's shore,
For Zion's warfare now is o'er,
Such shouts were never heard before,
And there we'll give him glory.
Then tears shall all be wip'd away,
And Christians never go astray;
When we are freed from cumbrous clay,
We'll praise the Lord in endless day,
And give to Jesus glory.
