TRIUMPH.

By D. T. Taylor

Lift your glad voices in triumph on high; Shout, for the day of redemption is nigh; Sing, for the Lord will appear in his glory, Mountains and valleys repeat the glad story. Tune every lyre, Lift the strain higher, Far o’er the ocean the tidings shall fly.

Lift your glad voices, ye nations, and sing; Let the bright anthem re-echo and ring, Sing, for the bright One that slept in the manger Comes; and the earth that once pillowed the stranger, In rich adorning, Hails the glad morning, Blossoms to Eden, and welcomes her King.

Lift your glad voices, He conquered the grave, Jesus, Immanuel, almighty to save. Shout to the tyrant, “Thy chains are all broken;” Sing, for the voice of Jehovah hath spoken. Open the portal, Ransomed, immortal; Life shall endure with Eternity’s wave.

Lift your glad voices, your banners unfurl, Sin, Death and Hell he to ruin shall hurl. Christ shall come down in his chariot of fire, Bethlehem’s Beauty, and Israel’s Messiah; Prince ever glorious, Strong and victorious, Lion of Judah, and King of the world.

Lift your glad voices, He cometh again; Sound out the tidings o’er earth and o’er main! Sing, for the dark days of evil are ending; Shout to the bridegroom with angels descending! Church of Jehovah, Welcome thy lover, Sing, for he cometh, he cometh to reign.

Lift your glad voices wide under the sun, Sing of his power who the victory has won. Strong is that arm that the strengthless defended, Saved us from hell, and the warfare hath ended. Hallelujah again, Hallelujah, Amen! Shout! for the work of redemption is done.

—D. T. Taylor.
