The Great Battle

1Hosannah! hark, the melody
Strikes sweetly on my ravished ear!
The constellations make reply
In echoes from each distant sphere,
Till all the wide expansion rings
With "Live forever, King of kings!"

2He comes! he comes! the heavens
rond!
Floods, clap your hands! ye moun-
tains, joy!
Forests, in glad obeisance bend!
Earth, raise your hallelujahs high!
Let Zion wake the lofty strain—
"Live, King of kings! forever reign!"
