1 Ved al Cristo, Rey de gloria,
es del mundo el vencedor;
del sepulcro sale invicto,
todos démosle loor.

Estribillo:
Alabadle, santos todos,
alabad al Rey de reyes.
Alabadle, santos todos,
alabad al Salvador.

2 Exaltadle, exaltadle;
ricos triunfos trae Jesús;
y los reinos e este mundo
son hoy suyos por la cruz. [Estribillo]

3 Si las gentes se burlaron
coronando al Salvador,
hoy los ángeles y santos
le proclaman su Señor. [Estribillo]

4 Escuchad las alabanzas
que se elevan hacia Él.
Victorioso reina el Cristo;
adorad a Emmanuel. [Estribillo]

His earnest evangelical preaching in Dublin led Archbishop Fowler to inhibit him and his companion preacher, Rowland Hill, from preaching in the city. For some time he preached in two unconsecrated buildings in Dublin, Plunket Street, and the Bethesda, and then, having seceded from the Established Church, he erected places of worship at Athy, Portarlington, Wexford, &c, in which he conducted divine worship and preached.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
