O brothers, lift your voices, Triumphant songs to raise; Till heaven 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. | 451 Captain of our salvation, Thy presence we adore: Praise, glory, adoration Be thine for evermore! Still on in conflict pressing, On thee thy people call, Thee, King of kings confessing, Thee, crowning Lord of all. | |
