Amen. Topics: God Mercies of; New Year Used With Tune: NUREMBURG

Sing, O Heavens! O Earth! Rejoice!

Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Sing, O Heavens! O Earth, rejoice! Lyrics: 1 Sing, O Heavens! O Earth, rejoice! Angel harp, and human voice, Round Him, as He rises, raise Your ascending Savior’s praise. 2 Bruisèd is the serpent’s head, Hell is vanquished, Death is dead; And to Christ, gone up on high, Captive is captivity. 3 All His work and warfare done, He into His Heaven is gone, And, beside His Father’s throne, Now is pleading for His own. 4 Asking gifts for sinful men, That He may come down again, And, the fallen to restore, In them dwell forevermore. 5 Sing, O Heavens! O Earth, rejoice! Angel harp, and human voice, Round Him, as He rises, raise Your ascending Savior’s praise. Used With Tune: NUREMBERG Text Sources: Hymns of Love and Praise, 1863
