Hymn
Christ, the Conqueror
Jesus, immortal King! arise,
Rise and assert thy sway!
Till earth, subdued, its tribute bring,
And distant lands obey.
King of glory!
King of glory!
King of glory!
Rise and assert thy sway.
Ride forth, victorious Conqueror! ride,
Till all thy foes submit,
And all the pow’rs of hell resign
Their trophies at thy feet.
Send forth thy Word and let it fly
The gracious earth around,
Till ev’ry soul beneath the sun
Shall hear the joyful sound.
From sea to sea, from shore to shore,
May Jesus be adored,
And earth, with all her millions, shout
Hosannas to the Lord.
