157.

HARK! the song of jubilee,

Loud as mighty thunders' roar, Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore: "Hallelujah!" for the Lord

God omnipotent shall reign; "Hallelujah!" let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

"Hallelujah!" Hark! the sound
From the centre to the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies:
See Jehovah's banners furl'd,

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,
Yonder heavens have pass'd away.
Then the end:-beneath His rod
Man's last enemy shall fall:
Hallelujah! Christ in God,

God in Christ is all in all."
