Hymn 94: Hark, the song of Jubilee

HYMN XCIV.

Hark! the song of Jubilee; Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fulness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore: Hallelujah! for the Lord God Omnipotent, shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word Echo round the earth and main.

Hallelujah! hark the sound From the depths unto the skies, Wakes above, beneath, around, All creation's harmonies; See Jehovah's banner furl'd, Sheath'd His sword: He speaks--'tis done, And the Kingdoms of this world Are the Kingdoms of His Son.

He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway; He shall reign, when like a scroll Yonder heavens have passed away: Then the end;--beneath His rod, Man's last enemy shall fall; Hallelujah! Christ in God, God in Christ, is all in all.
