O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice;
from world to world the joy shall ring,
'The Lord omnipotent is King'.
2 The Lord is King! who then shall dare
resist his will, distrust his care,
or murmur at his wise decrees,
or doubt his royal promises?
3 He reigns! Ye saints, exalt your strains;
your God is King, your Father reigns;
and he is at the Father's side,
the Man of Love, the Crucified.
*4 Alike pervaded by his eye
all parts of his dominion lie:
this world of ours and worlds unseen,
and thin the boundary between.
5 One Lord one empire all secures;
he reigns, and life and death are yours;
through earth and heaven one song shall ring,
'The Lord omnipotent is King'. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Ascension Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT
