L.M. [1860]Yule: Mediaeval Melody; pub., Leipzig, 1539; harm. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), 1734 Ascribed to Mrs. Vokes, 1816 Soon may the last glad song arise Through all the millions of the skies; That song of triumph which records That all the earth is now the Lord's. Let thrones and powers and kingdoms be Obedient, mighty God, to thee; And over land and stream and main Wave thou the scepter of thy reign. O that the anthem now might swell, And host to host the triumph tell, That not one rebel heart remains, But over all the Savior reigns! Amen. |
