HYMN 45.

Hark! the song of Jubilee,
Loud as mighty thunders roar,
Or the fulness of the sea,
When it breakes upon the shore;
Halelujah! for the Lord
God Omnipotent shall reign;
Halelujah! Let the word
Echo round the earth and main.

Halelujah! Hark! the sound
From the centre to the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies;
See Jehovah's banners furld,
Sheathed His sword, He speaks,'tis done,
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of His Son.

He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway;
He shall reign when, like a scroll,
Heav'n and earth have passed away,
Then the end; beneath His rod,
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Halelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all.
