Lyics

Hark!  How the gospel trumpet sounds!

Thro' all the world the echo sounds,

And Jesus by redeeming blood,

Is bringing sinners back to God,

And guides them safely by his word

To endless day.



Hail!  All victorious conqu'ring Lord!

Be thou by all thy works adored,

Who undertook for sinful man,

And brought salvation though thy name,

That we with thee may ever reign,

To endless day.



Fight on, ye conquering souls, fight on!

And when the conquest you have won,

Then palms of victory you shall bear,

And in his kingdom have a share;

And crowns of glory ever wear,

In endless day.



There we shall in full chorus join,

With saints and angels all combine,

To sing of his redeeming love,

When rolling years shall cease to move,

And this shall be our theme above,

In endless day.
