HYMN 89
466 C. M.
Christ's victory over Satan.
Hosannah to our conquering King! The prince of darkness flies; His troops rush headlong down to hell, Like lightning from the skies. | There, bound in chains, the lions roar, And fright the rescued sheep; But heavy bars confine their power And malice to the deep. | Hosannah to our conquering King! All hail, incarnate love! Ten thousand songs and glories wait To crown thy head above. | Thy victories and thy deathless fame Through the wide world shall run, And everlasting ages sing The triumphs thou hast won. | |
