None the contest to maintain:
Fallen they are, no more to rise,
All their glory prostrate lies.

4 Mighty Victor, reign for ever,

Wear the crown so dearly won;
Never shall Thy people, never

Cease to sing what Thou hast done:
Thou hast fought Thy people's foes;
Thou wilt heal Thy people's woes.

And bring us comfort from afar;
And banish far from us the gloom
Of sinful night and endless doom.

2 Draw nigh, O Jesse's Rod, draw nigh, 4 Draw nigh, draw nigh, O David's Key,

To free us from the enemy;
From hell's abyss Thy people save,
And give us victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

The heavenly gate unfolds to Thee;
Make safe the way that leads on high.
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Who once, from Sinai's flaming height,
Didst give the trembling tribes Thy law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
