1. Rejoice my friends, the Lord is King, | |||
Let all prepare to take him in; | |||
Let Jacob rise and Zion sing, | |||
And all the world with praises ring, | |||
And give to Jesus glory. | |||
2. O may the Saints of every name | |||
Unite to serve the bleeding Lamb; | |||
May jars and discord cease to flame. | |||
And all the Savior's love proclaim, | |||
And give to Jesus glory. | |||
3. I long to see the Christians join, | |||
In union sweet and peace divine, | |||
When every church with grace shall shine; | |||
And grow in Christ the living vine, | |||
And give to Jesus glory. | |||
4. O may the desert lands rejoice, | |||
And mourners hear the bridegroom's voice | |||
While songs of praise each tongue employs, | |||
And all obtain immortal joys, | |||
And give to Jesus glory. | |||
5. Come, parents, children, bond and free. | |||
Come will you go to heaven with me, | |||
That glorious land of rest to see, | |||
And shout with me eternally, | |||
And give to Jesus glory. | |||
6. Come who will march to win the prize, | |||
And take the kingdom in the skies? | |||
Where love and union never dies, | |||
But always flows through paradise, | |||
And there we'll give him glory. | |||
7. My soul grows happy while I sing, | |||
I feel that I am on the wing; | |||
I'll shout salvation to my king, | |||
Till I to heaven my trophies bring, | |||
And there we'll give him glory. | |||
8. Those beauteous fields of living green, | |||
Through faith, the telescope, are seen, | |||
Though Jordan's billows roll between, | |||
We soon shall cross the narrow stream | |||
And there we'll give him glory. | |||
9. A few more days of pain and woe, | |||
A few more suffering scenes below | |||
And then to Jesus we shall go, | |||
Where everlasting pleasures flow, | |||
And there we'll give him glory. | |||
10. That awful trumpet soon will sound, | |||
And shake the vast creation round, | |||
And call the nations under ground, | |||
And all the saints shall then be crowned, | |||
And give to Jesus glory. | |||
11. Ten thousand thunders then will roll | |||
And rend the globe from pole to pole, | |||
How dreadful to the guilty soul, | |||
But nothing shall the saints control. | |||
They'll give to Jesus glory. | |||
12. Then we shall weep nor part no more, | |||
When we have met on Canaan's shore. | |||
For Zion's warfare now is o'er, | |||
Such shouts were never heard before, | |||
And there we'll give him glory. | |||
13 There tears shall all be wiped away. | |||
And Christians never go astray, | |||
When we are freed from cumbrous clay, | |||
We'll praise the Lord in endless day, | |||
And give to Jesus glory. | |||
14. On Zion's brilliant mount we'll stand, | |||
And view that holy, heavenly land; | |||
With palms of victory in our hand. | |||
We'll shout with heaven's triumphant band, | |||
And give to Jesus glory. | |||
15. There all the saints shall join in one, | |||
And sing with Moses round the throne; | |||
There troubles are forever gone, | |||
They'll shine with God's eternal Son. | |||
And there we'll give him glory. | |||
16. The rose and lily there shall stand, | |||
In holy bloom at God's right hand : | |||
O how I long for Canaan's land, | |||
And there to join the shouting band | |||
And give to Jesus glory.}} | |||
