Lyrics
Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
Your sweetest notes employ
The Paschal victory to hymn
In strains of holy joy
How Judah's Lion burst his chains
And crushed the serpent's head
And brought with him, from death's domains
The long imprisoned dead
The long imprisoned dead
Devouring depths of hell their prey
(Devouring depths of hell their prey)
At his command restore
(At his command restore)
His ransomed hosts pursue their way
His ransomed hosts pursue their way
Where Jesus goes before
Triumphant in his glory now
To him all pow'r is giv'n
To him in one communion bow
All saints in earth and heav'n
All saints in earth and heav'n
While joyful thus his praise we sing
His mercy we implore
Into his palace bright to bring
And keep us evermore
All glory to the Father be
All glory to the Son
All glory, Holy Ghost, to thee
While endless ages run
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! Amen
Alleluia! Amen
Alleluia! Amen
