O brothers, lift your voices,
triumphant songs to raise;
Till heav’n on high rejoices,
and earth is filled with praise;
Ten thousand hearts are bounding,
with holy hopes and free;
The Gospel trump is sounding,
the trump of jubilee.
O Christian brothers, glorious
shall be the conflict’s close;
The cross hath been victorious,
and shall be o’er its foes;
Faith is our battle token;
our Leader all controls;
Our trophies, fetters broken;
our captives, ransomed souls.
Not unto us, Lord Jesus:
to Thee all praise be due,
Whose blood-bought mercy frees us,
has freed our brethren, too.
Not unto us: in glory
the angels catch the strain,
And cast their crowns before Thee
exultingly again.
Great God of our salvation,
Thy presence we adore;
Praise, glory, adoration
be Thine forevermore;
Still on in conflict pressing
on Thee Thy people call,
Thee King of kings confessing,
Thee crowning Lord of all.
