LyicsREJOICE, O earth! The Lord is King!
To him your humble tribute bring,
Let Jacob rise, and Zion sing,
And all the world with praises ring,
And give to Jesus glory.
O may the saints of ev'ry 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.
We long to see the Christians join
In union sweet and love divine,
And glory through the churches shine,
And Gentiles crowding to the sign,
To give to Jesus glory.
O may the distant lands rejoice,
And sinners hear the Bridegroom's voice,
While praise their happy tongues employs,
And all obtain immortal joys,
And give to Jesus glory.
A few more days of pain and woe,
A few more suff'ring scenes below,
And then to glory we shall go,
Where everlasting pleasures flow,
And give to Jesus glory.
Then we shall part and weep 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 wip'd 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.
