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
Charles Wesley
