333. Jerusalem, Lift Up Thy Voice

1 Jerusalem, lift up thy voice!
Daughter of Zion, now rejoice!
Thy King is come, whose mighty hand
Henceforth shall reign o'er ev'ry land.

2 He comes to ev'ry tribe and race,
A messenger of truth and grace:
With peace He comes from heaven above,
On earth to found His realm of love.

3 In God's eternal covenant,
He comes for our salvation sent.
The star of hope moves on before,
And hosts assemble to adore.

4 Let all the world with one accord
Now hail the coming of the Lord:
Praise to the Prince of heav'nly birth,
Who bringeth peace to all the earth!
