LyicsREJOICE, O earth, the Lord is king,
To him your humble tribute bring,
Let Jacob rise and Zion sing,
And all the world wit praises ring,
And give to Jesus glory.
O may the saints, of every 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,
A union sweet, and love divine,
And glory thro' the churches shine,
And Gentiles crouding to the sign,
To give to Jesus glory.
O may the distant lands rejoice,
And mourners hear the Bridegroom's-
voice, (ploys,
While praise their happy tongues em-
And all obtain immortal joys,
And give to Jesus glory.
Come parents, children, bond and free,
Come, will you go to heaven with me,
That glorious land of liberty,
And shout in bliss eternally,
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 and wo,
A few more suffering scenes below,
And then to glory we shall 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 wiped 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.
