Hallelujah.

Hark! the song of Jubilee;

Loud as mighty thunders roar,

Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore:

Hallelujah! for the Lord

God Omnipotent, shall reign;

Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

Hallelujah! hark the sound

From the depths unto the skies,

Wakes above, beneath, around,

All creation's harmonies;

See Jehovah's banner furl'd,

Sheath'd His sword: He speaks -- 'tis done,

And the Kingdoms of this world

Are the Kingdoms of His Son.

He shall reign from pole to pole

With illimitable sway;

He shall reign, when like a scroll

Yonder heavens have passed away:

Then the end; -- beneath His rod,

Man's last enemy shall fall;

Hallelujah! Christ in God,

God in Christ, is all in all.
