Hymn 199: God is gone up on high,

Verse 1

God is gone up high,

With a triumphant noise;

The clarions of the sky

Proclaim th’ angelic joys!

Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;

Glory ascribe to glory’s King.

 

Verse 2

God in the flesh below,

For us He reigns above:

Let all the nations know

Our Jesus conq’ring love!

Join all on-earth, rejoice and sing;

Glory ascribe to glory’s King.

 

Verse 3

All power to our great Lord 

Is by the Father given;

By angel hosts adored.

He reigns supreme in heaven:

Join all on-earth, rejoice and sing;

Glory ascribe to glory’s King

 

Verse 4

High on His holy seat 

He bears the righteous away;

His foes beneath His feet 

Shall sin and die away:

Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;

Glory ascribe to glory’s King.

 

Verse 5

His foes and ours are one,

Satan, the world, and sin;

But He shall read them down,

And bring His Kingdom in;

Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;

Glory ascribe to glory’s King

 

Verse 6

Till all the earth, renewed 

In righteousness divine,

With all the hosts of God 

In one great chorus join:

Join all on earth, rejoice and sing,

Glory ascribe to glory’s King
