GOD is gone up on high With a triumphant noise; The clarions of the sky Proclaim the angelic joys! Join all on earth, rejoice and sing, Glory ascribe to glory’s King. |
|||
2 | All power to our great Lord Is by the Father given; By angel hosts adored, He reigns supreme in Heaven: |
||
3 | High on His holy seat He bears the righteous sway; His foes beneath His feet Shall sink and die away: |
||
4 | His foes and ours are one, Satan, the world, and sin: But He shall tread them down, And bring His kingdom in: |
||
5 | Till all the earth, renewed In righteousness divine, With all the hosts of God In one great chorus join. |

Charles Wesley, 1707-88 |
