LyicsLet us awake our joys;
Strike up with cheerful voice,
Each creature sing:
Angels, begin the song;
Mortals, the strain prolong,
In accents sweet and strong,
"Jesus is King."
Proclaim abroad his name;
Tell of his matchless fame!
What wonders done;
Above, beneath, around,
Let all the earth resound,
Till heaven's high arch rebound,
"Victory is won."
He vanquished sin and hell,
And our last foe will quell;
Mourners, rejoice;
His dying love adore:
Praise him now raised in power;
Praise him for evermore
With joyful voice.
All hail the glorious day
When, through the heavenly way,
Lo! he shall come,
While they who pierced him wail;
His promise shall not fail:
Saints, see your King prevail;
Great Savior, come.
