Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16164 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Sing Alleluia, all ye lands! Lyrics:
1 Sing Alleluia, all ye lands!
Ye floods and oceans, clap your hands!
The King returns from glorious fight,
Whose arms have shattered Satan’s might;
Our gladdest song shall therefore be,
That God was reigning from the Tree!
2 The sling and five smooth stones have slain
The giant on the battle plain;
And Holofernes’ falchion dread,
Hath severed Holofernes’ head;
Our chief is crowned, for slain was He,
When God was reigning from the Tree!
3 Alone, despised, and set at naught,
The press He trod, the fight He fought;
Alone He crushed the dragon down,
And so alone He wears the crown;
The sun is bright, the clouds must flee,
For God was reigning from the Tree!
4 Jerusalem, arise and shine!
The glory of thy Lord is thine;
The victor’s crown, the royal throne,
Are all His gift, and all thine own;
For all of His thine own shall be,
Since God was reigning from the Tree!
