148. Glad Acclamations

1 Sweet melody rises o’er hillside and plain,
Triumphant, in unison rings out the strain;
In rapt adoration all true hearts unite,
Sing praise to Jehovah, the Giver of Light.

Chorus:
Ruler of earth and sky,
Lord of all nations,
E’er to Thy throne ascend
Glad acclamation;
Singing anthems supernal,
Angels thy glories tell thro’ all eternity.

2 A pean whose melody never is still’d;
The air with the music of heaven is fill’d;
From far distant shores comes the swelling refrain;
The world-wide rejoicing reechoes again. [Chorus]

3 Once more to His temple the glad children throng;
“Hosanna to Jesus,” their jubilant song;
Their garlands of victory proudly they bring
And hail Him Almighty Deliv’rer and King. [Chorus]
