117. Hallelujah the Lowly Is King

1 Hallelujah! Hallelujah! the Lowly is King!
Then awake, O ye nations, exultingly sing!
For the Day-Star has risen, the morning is here,
And the hosts of Jehovah in triumph appear.

Refrain:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, exultingly sing;
Hallelujah, hallelujah, the Lowly is King.

2 Hallelujah! Hallelujah! the war call shall cease,
And the earth shall smile back to the angel of peace;
For the sword of the warrior is broken in twain,
And the cross is the sign of the Lowly One’s Reign. [Refrain]

3 Hallelujah! Hallelujah! oppression is o’er,
And the scourge of the tyrant shall threaten no more;
But the world from its bondage henceforth shall be free,
And the glory to Jesus forever shall be. [Refrain]
