1 Rise, arise! Rise, arise!
Christians, rise to greet your King.
Open wide the gates before him;
Let the glad hosannas ring;
Haste to worship and adore him.
Hark! The watchman on the mountain cries:
Rise, arise! Rise, arise!
2 Oh, rejoice! Oh, rejoice!
Christ has come as long fortold.
The Messiah long-expected,
The incarnate Word behold!
Though by earthly kings rejected,
Hail him Lord of all with mighty voice.
Oh, rejoice! Oh, rejoice!
3 Crown him King! Crown him King!
His exalted name confess.
From his heav'nly throne descending,
Jesus, Lord our righteousness,
Brings us joy and peace unending.
Oh, let heart and tongue his praises sing!
Crown him King! Crown him King!
