Lyics

SOON may the last glad song arise

Through all the millions of the skies-

That song of triumph, which records

That all the earth is now the Lord's. 



Let thrones and powers and kingdoms be

Obedient, mighty God, to thee;

And over land, and stream, and main,

Now wave the scepter of thy reign.



O let that glorious anthem swell;

Let hose to host the triumph tell

That not once rebel heart remains,

But over all the Saviour reigns.
