Laudes Domini ‎#446

446. "Jesus is King"

1 Let us awake our joys,
Strike up with cheerful voice,
Each creature, sing--
Angels, begin the song,
Mortals—the strain prolong,
In accents sweet and strong,
"Jesus is King."

2 All hail the glorious day,
When through the heavenly way,
Lo, he shall come!
While they who pierced him wail,
His promise shall not fail;
Saints, see your King prevail:
Great Saviour, come
