KINGDOM OF CHRIST




Rejoice, the Saviour reigns
Among the sons of men:
He breaks the pris’ner’s chains,
And makes them free again:
Let hell oppose God’s only Son,
In spite of foes, his cause goes on.


The cause of righteousness,
And truth and holy peace,
Design`d our world to bless,
Shall spread and never cease:
Gentile and Jew their souls shall bow,
Allegiance due, with rapture vow.


The baffled prince of hell
In vain new projects tries,
The gospel to repel,
By cruelty and lies:
Th’ infernal gates shall rage in vain;
Conquest awaits the Lamb once slain.


He dy’d, but soon arose
Triumphant o’er the grave;
And now himself he shows
Omnipotent to save :
Let rebels kiss the victor's feet,
Eternal bliss his subjects meet.


All pow’r is in his hand,
His people to defend;
To his most high command
Shall millions more attend:
All heaven with smiles approve his cause:
And distant isles receive his laws.


This little seed from heaven
Shall soon become a tree;
This ever blessed leav'n
Diffus'd abroad must be;
'Till God the Son shall come again,
It must go on. Amen, amen!
