LyicsArise, ye people, and adore,
Exulting strike the chord;
Let all the earth, from shore to shore,
Confess th' Almighty Lord.
Glad shouts aloud -- wide echoing round,
Th' ascending Lord proclaim;
The angelic choir respond the sound,
And shake creation's frame.
They sing of death and hell o'erthrown
In that triumphant hour;
And God exalts his conquering Son
To his right hand of power.
O shout, ye people, and adore,
Exulting strike the chord;
Let all the earth, from shore to shore,
Confess th' Almighty Lord.
