<p>Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,<br>
|
|
Your sweetest notes employ,<br>
|
|
The Paschal victory to hymn<br>
|
|
In strains of holy joy.</p>
|
|
<p>For Judah’s Lion bursts His chains,<br>
|
|
Crushing the serpent’s head;<br>
|
|
And cries aloud through death’s domains<br>
|
|
To wake the imprisoned dead.</p>
|
|
<p>Devouring depths of hell their prey<br>
|
|
At His command restore;<br>
|
|
His ransomed hosts pursue their way<br>
|
|
Where Jesus goes before.</p>
|
|
<p>Triumphant in His glory now<br>
|
|
To Him all power is given;<br>
|
|
To Him in one communion bow<br>
|
|
All saints in earth and heaven.</p>
|
|
<p>While we, His soldiers, praise our King,<br>
|
|
His mercy we implore,<br>
|
|
Within His palace bright to bring<br>
|
|
And keep us evermore.</p>
|
|
<p>All glory to the Father be,<br>
|
|
All glory to the Son,<br>
|
|
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,<br>
|
|
While endless ages run.</p>

<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,<br>
|
|
To sweet new strains attune your theme;<br>
|
|
The while we keep, from care released,<br>
|
|
With sober joy our Paschal feast:</p>
|
|
<p>When Christ, unconquer’d Lion, first<br>
|
|
The dragon’s chains by rising burst:<br>
|
|
And while with living voice He cries,<br>
|
|
The dead of other ages rise.</p>
|
|
<p>Engorged in former years, their prey<br>
|
|
Must death and hell restore today:<br>
|
|
And many a captive soul, set free,<br>
|
|
With Jesus leaves captivity.</p>
|
|
<p>Right gloriously He triumphs now,<br>
|
|
Worthy to Whom should all things bow;<br>
|
|
And joining heaven and earth again,<br>
|
|
Links in one commonweal the twain.</p>
|
|
<p>And we, as these His deeds we sing,<br>
|
|
His suppliant soldiers, pray our King,<br>
|
|
That in His palace, bright and vast,<br>
|
|
We may keep watch and ward at last.</p>
|
|
<p>Long as unending ages run,<br>
|
|
To God the Father, laud be done:<br>
|
|
To God the son, our equal praise,<br>
|
|
And God the Holy Ghost, we raise.</p>
